HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Kringle is not a particularly healthy food, it does contain some nutritional benefits. Almonds, the main ingredient in almond paste, are a good source of protein and healthy fats. However, Kringle is high in calories, sugar, and fat, so it should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of your diet.
