Bok Choy Check Before You Wok

Looking at the label, Fruit Smiles packs a serious caloric punch with 69g of sugar per 100g and a low score of 3.1. It's got that chewy, candy-like texture that feels nostalgic, maybe like a fruit roll-up. I can see tossing this in a gym bag for a quick hit of energy before a workout, but the sugar crash afterward is a real possibility. The ingredients list is still updating, so it's hard to fully vet what's inside. It's a sweet treat, for sure, but the nutritional profile is definitely leaning towards a dessert rather than a health food.

The Wild Berry Twisted Fruit Ropes list apple puree and juice concentrates right up top, giving it a dense, jammy vibe. With 72g of sugar per 100g and a score of 2.8, it's clearly a high-sugar option. The texture seems like it would be sticky and satisfying to unspool, making it a fun, albeit messy, snack. I could see a kid loving this in their lunchbox. However, the sugar load is massive, and the low score suggests it's not doing your body many favors. It's a treat that leans heavily on fruit sugars for its flavor profile.

This Fruit Cocktail is a standout with only 2g of sugar per 100g and a stellar score of 9.8. The ingredients are straightforward: diced peaches, pears, grapes, and pineapple, with cherries colored with carmine. It's packed in water, so the texture is soft and juicy without being syrupy. I'd absolutely keep a jar of this in the office fridge for a light, refreshing snack that won't wreck my focus. The only trade-off is the use of carmine for the red color, which some people prefer to avoid. Overall, it's a fantastic, low-sugar fruit option.

With a near-perfect score of 9.9 and zero grams of sugar, this Mango Fruit Puree is the definition of clean. The ingredient list is a dream: just mango puree and lemon juice concentrate. The texture is likely smooth and luscious, pure mango without any added fillers. I can imagine stirring this into plain Greek yogurt for a breakfast upgrade that feels indulgent but is totally clean. There's virtually no trade-off here, aside from the tartness from the lemon juice, which actually brightens the flavor. It's a top-tier option for anyone prioritizing ingredient quality.

The Sunbelt Bakery Soft Baked Bar hits a middle ground with 38g of sugar and a score of 6.2. The ingredients show a mix of whole wheat, oats, and fruit filling, giving it a texture that's likely dense and satisfyingly soft-baked. This is the kind of bar I'd keep in my car for a late-night drive home when I need something more substantial than a candy bar. The trade-off is the sugar content, which comes from corn syrup and dextrose alongside the fruit, making it less of a 'clean' fuel source. It's a decent compromise between a pastry and a health bar.
