Well, the topic may sound weird, but yes, you have to select what’s healthy between the two too. Make better and smarter choice to be smarter in health decisions.
The sweet devil
Sugar is said to lead to a number of health issues and tagged as a white devil. Yes, this holds true to a certain extent, but it doesn’t really mean that you should completely avoid white sugar and all of the sugary eatables. In fact, as you try hard to avoid white sugar, your craving for the same increases.
You should rather try to include desserts in the smart way.
Choose to be healthy
When there are two desserts to choose from, pick the one that has some health benefits and good nutritional value. This is better than to choose empty calories and fat content. Desserts that merely have sugar and white flour and butter or trans-fat should be avoided. Zeroing in on two such sweets – let us discuss on Rasagulla and Gulab jamun.
They have high sugar content and high calorie content as well. however, of these two, one is better than the other. any guesses?
Rasagulla Vs Gulab Jamun
The better option is Rasagulla (Sorry, Jamun lovers). As Rasagulla is made out of Indian cottage cheese, you get protein and calcium out of it. So, naturally, this makes Rasagulla a better choice than Gulab Jamun which on the other hand is purely full of fat and sugar.
Jamuns
Gulab Jamun is mainly made up of Maida and milk kova. The two are used to make tiny dumplings. They are then deep fried using ghee or oil. The fried dumplings are then soaked in a sugar syrup.
In just 2 pieces of Gulab Jamun, there is 300 calories and has fat content of 15 grams.
Rasagulla
This is made out of Indian Cottage Cheese called Paneer. It is a very common and popular Indian dessert item. Cooking Rasagulla doesn’t involve any frying process. So, instantly, this makes Rasagulla better. Also, it has lesser concentration of calories.
There is about 250 calories in 2 pieces of Rasagulla and the fat content in them is about 10 grams.
So, which is going to be your choice?
