About Waffle cone pieces

Waffle cone pieces are crunchy fragments of the classic waffle cone, traditionally used to hold ice cream. Originating as part of European cuisine, waffle cones were popularized at World’s Fairs in the 1900s. These pieces are made primarily from ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, and are often enjoyed as toppings for desserts or snacks on their own. Nutritionally, waffle cone pieces are energy-dense due to their carbohydrate content, providing a quick source of energy. However, they are relatively low in fiber, protein, and essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Their sugar content should be monitored when considering overall dietary intake.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content (approximately 20-25g per serving).
• Contains small amounts of calcium from enriched flour, although minimal compared to other sources.
• May contribute to dietary enjoyment and satisfaction, which can support mindful eating practices.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten, eggs, dairy (if butter or milk powder is used)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if not made with animal-derived shortenings or flavoring)

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (if eggs or dairy are present), low-sugar diets

Selection and Storage

Store waffle cone pieces in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain their crispness. Avoid exposure to humidity, which can cause them to become soft.

How do waffle cone pieces compare to regular cones in terms of nutrition?
