About Twister eis
Twister Eis is a popular layered frozen dessert originally developed in the UK under the Wall’s brand and known globally under different names (e.g., Heartbrand). It typically features a combination of fruit-flavored sorbet (like pineapple, lime, or raspberry) and dairy-based ice cream twisted together into a spiral shape. A standard Twister Eis contains around 70-80 calories, 2g of fat, 12g of carbohydrates (mostly sugar), and 1g of protein per serving, making it a relatively low-calorie treat. While it provides minimal amounts of vitamins and calcium from the dairy components, its primary nutritional content is sugars, and it should be consumed in moderation as a dessert or snack.
Health Benefits
- Provides small amounts of calcium (2-4% of the daily value) due to the dairy content, which supports bone health.
- Contains sugars from fruit-based sorbets, offering quick energy for physical activity when consumed in moderation.
- Low in fat compared to many ice cream alternatives, suitable for those monitoring fat intake as part of a balanced diet.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Twister Eis in the freezer at -18°C or lower. Do not refreeze once thawed as it may affect texture and safety.
