Nutrition Information

Of all the festive traditions, mooncakes are one of the hardest to work into a healthy lifestyle. Aside from having the unhealthy trifecta of being high in sugar, high trans-fats, and high in cholesterol, they’re also traditionally very calorific: usually around 900 calories for one standard-sized sharing cake. It takes a little creativity, but by replacing sugar with dietary fibers, packing the pastry with protein-dense nuts, and making them fresh to reduce the trans-fats, these traditional mooncakes can be made not only lighter but nutritional.
