Originating in the Philippines through a bacterial fermentation process, coconut jelly, specifically known as nata de coco, is a chewy and translucent tropical delicacy. Celebrated for its unique texture and refreshing taste, its healthfulness largely depends on its preparation and, most importantly, its sugar content.

A single serving of a traditional halo-halo can contain a staggering 43 to 63 grams of sugar and nearly 17 grams of saturated fat, prompting many to question just how unhealthy is Halo-Halo. The beloved Filipino shaved ice dessert is a refreshing treat, but its ingredients are often a mix of both nutritious elements and sugary additions.
