Marigold Yoghurt Nonfat Peach & Mango

Hello, fellas. How's your day? I hope you love today. [Hey, tomorrow is Friday!]

Today, I will review Marigold non-fat yoghurt with peach & mango flavor.

The taste actually is really good and sweet. I look at the nutrition fact and find that the content of fat is only 0,1 g per serving. That's obvious because they have nonfat claim.

Nutrition Fact

Well, because the taste is sweet, I also check the carbohydrate content. I find 19,9 g of carbohydrate. Source of carbo in this product are from sugar (sucrose), milk (lactose), peach & mango chunks (sucrose, fructose, and fiber). I think sugar has great responsibility for its contribution to carbo content at nutrition fact.

Well, sugar is not only for the sweet taste, but also for texture and nutrients for live cultures (Streptococcus thermophillus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus). But, I'm waiting for no added sugar or less sugar yoghurt. Hope I will find it at the supermarket.

Ingredients

Peach and mango are actually good combination. The mango has sweet and green taste; the peach has sweet taste and flowery aroma. They actually blends good. I found it's less sour, maybe that's because they only use malic acid. Malic acid has mild acidity with astringent feeling. I think malic acid also contributes to enhance the mango green taste.

White Yoghurt with Mango & Peach Chunks

I also love the mango and peach chunks in this product. The chunk itself has dimension 1 cm x 1 cm x 0,5 cm. It's quite bite-able and "I already eat fruits" thoughts.

The nonfat, cholesterol free and with calcium claims also make it as 'almost guilt free' yoghurt. Yeah, it's perfect for healthy snacking (but not too often because its sugar content). Enjoy your snacking time, fellas!

Marigold Yuzu Fruit Jelly

Here it is.. Fruit Jelly with real yuzu peel.

Yuzu is a round, yellowish citrus fruit with fragrant, acidic juice, used chiefly as a flavouring. Yuzu citrus tree is originated from China and widely cultivated in Japan and Korea. That's why it is not that familiar in Indonesia and Singapore. But, it starts gain popularity in the world, especially in Asia because its unique flavor.

Ingredients Label

Let's see the ingredients. As usual, sucrose is the major ingredients in fruit jelly. Although fruit jelly is sometimes is claimed as source of fiber, don't forget about the sucrose content. Too much sucrose also can lead to diabetes. So, you should carefully read the food label, nutrition fact and ingredient, fellas.

Lovely Appearance with Yuzu Peel Touch

This fruit jelly has fresh, sour, sweet with perfect combination as yuzu fruit jelly. Yuzu peel itself has sweet and bitter taste, just like orange peel. The texture is not too springy. I think it uses carageenan to provide hard and brittle texture. I like the texture and also the appearance of this jelly. As you can see in the picture, yuzu peel make the appearance become pretty and appealing.

Maybe, some people is asking, can we really eat orange peel?

Yes, you can. Remember there is orange peel preservation with sour and sweet taste produced in China or Japan? Actually putting yuzu fruit peel is a creative and innovative idea. It is because peel is identical with fiber and also it adds yuzu flavor to fruit jelly. It is perfect as dessert or snack in afternoon. You also can combine it with green tea for teatime.
