HEALTH & BENEFITS

While sticky toffee pudding is not exactly a health food, it can offer some health benefits. Dates are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and they may aid digestion, boost brain health, and support a healthy pregnancy. Pecans are packed with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and antioxidants, which may reduce inflammation and promote heart health. However, sticky toffee pudding is also high in sugar, fat, and calories, so it should be enjoyed in moderation
