Our Recommendations
How healthy are mooncakes?
These sweet treats may not cause a lot of harm but it’s always wise to remember that moderation is key! Among all the carbohydrates and fats, each mooncake actually contains tons of sugar. According to the Singapore Health Promotion Board, a baked lotus seed paste mooncake is actually about 700 calories, which is similar to a plate of char kway teow. And if you have one with a yolk, that’s almost 800 calories, making it equal to four slices of pizza. This is why there are healthier alternatives available! With reduced sugar content and soybean yolks, you can now find the best low-sugar mooncakes in 2022. Read on to find out where you can snag these diet-friendly mooncakes for the upcoming festivities!
