Coles Festive Gnocchi | Chewsday Review
Will this festive gnocchi sleigh your Christmas table with seasonal flair? Let’s dive into the holly-jolly details!
- Potato (47%), Semolina (Wheat), Wheat Flour, Spinach, Cage Free Egg, Water, Sunflower Oil, Salt, Antioxidant (500).
- These ingredients are very similar to homemade gnocchi recipes available online. I sense a time-saver!
- Antioxidant (500) is a synthetic form of vitamin C that is used to preserve the colour and freshness during storage.
- Allergens: Wheat, egg, gluten.
- May contain: Milk, soy.
- This festive gnocchi is made with 47% potatoes. Most gnocchi products on the market range from from 20% – 64% potato, so it falls in the middle of that range.
- Low in total fat (1.74g per 100g) and saturated fat (0.39g per 100g) which is the case for most gnocchi products.
- These have a low sodium content of 121mg per 100g, significantly lower than regular Coles Gnocchi, which contains 435mg per 100g (2.5 times more sodium), and Guzzi’s traditional Potato Gnocchi, with 644mg per 100g (4 times more sodium).
- The dietary fibre content of these gnocchi shapes are 4.52g per serving, meeting my guidelines.
- These festive shapes will cost you a pretty penny at $17.50 per kg! This is quite expensive compared to regular-shaped gnocchi priced as low as $5.00 per kg.
- ‘No artificial colours or flavours’. – True. The beige and green colours come from the potato and spinach.
- Vegetarian – yep!
- Overall, these are a festive way to change up your weeknight dinners or an easy addition to Christmas lunch. Who doesn’t love convenience at Christmas time so you can spend more time with your friends and family?
- Compared to other gnocchi products on the market like the regular Coles Gnocchi costing as low as $5.00 per kg, these are more expensive at $17.50 per kg, but are the only ones with fun Christmas shapes!
