Why does nutella still contain saturated fat?
Per 15g portion, nutella contains 2.6g monounsaturated, 0.5g polyunsaturated and 1.6g saturated fat, so the fats are mainly unsaturated (67% unsaturated) whereas those of butter are mainly saturated (52% saturated). By spreading with nutella, it is not necessary to use any butter or alternative fat spread on your bread, hence reducing the amount of saturated fat consumed. The reason for the inclusion of saturated fat in nutella is that it gives stability and spreadibility; a product containing only unsaturated fats would be liquid.
