What Goes With Your Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnut?

On 13 July 2017, Krispy Kreme celebrates its 80th Anniversary. The famous doughnut company opened its shop in Winston-Salem. North Carolina on 13 July 1837.


On this 80th annivesary, Krispy Kreme offers big discount on the purchase of 12 pieces original glazed doughnuts in almost all of its franchise shops all over the world. In the Philippines, Krispy Kreme offers Php 80.00 for one glazed doughnut. In the USA, the next 12 pieces cost only 80 cents. In Saudi Arabia, 12 original glazed doughnuts cost SAR 17.00

After 80 years, I think only few know what goes with our favorite original glazed doughnut. To find out, I browsed over the website of Krispy Kreme . Below are the ingredients and nutrition facts of Original Glazed Doughnut:

INGREDIENTS

A. DOUGHNUT
 
1. Enriched wheat flour
    ( wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, floic acid and enzyme)

I guess that most of us are not familiar with most of the chemicals, enhancers and/or preservatives mentioned above and what they actually do in our body. However, the product of these ingredients is the soft, fluffy, fresh and sweet doughnut.

The nutrition that we get from eating one original glazed doughnut are primarily fat, starch and sugar. I do hope the consumption of this soft, fluffy, fresh and sweet treat will not make us obese and diabetic overtime. I suggest that they lower the sugar content and offer some green salads in their shops worldwide.
