Do you know the nutritional value of a mooncake with double yolks and lotus seed paste?

Health experts say a 190-gram mooncake has six tablespoons of sugar plus three tablespoons of oil. Despite its small size, the caloric content of a mooncake is as high as 800 calories, which is as much as a plate of rice with cubed pork in sweet corn sauce, a bowl of vegetable soup and a cup of iced milk tea.

Eating one mooncake gives you as much cholesterol as that found in four egg yolks.

Snowy mooncakes, ice cream mooncakes and vegetarian mooncakes are usually lower in fat, but each still contains one to two tablespoons of oil. Therefore, mooncake lovers should limit themselves to eating no more than a quarter of a mooncake a day.

To avoid bacterial growth, remember to keep moon akes in the fridge and eat them before they expire.
