HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Tosha balls are not the healthiest snack, they can provide energy and are a good source of carbohydrates. They contain small amounts of protein and nutrients such as calcium, iron and vitamin A. To make them a little healthier, you could substitute the refined flour with whole wheat flour or add grated vegetables such as carrots or zucchini to the mixture. These additions will increase both the nutritional value and fiber content of the Tosha balls.
