Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

It is usually diluted with cold water. Ice, lemon slices, or sparkling water can make it more refreshing; follow the dilution directions on the label when available.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and refrigerate it after opening unless the label says otherwise. Using clean utensils and avoiding contact with food helps limit spoilage.
Discard it if you notice mould, fizzing in a product that was not carbonated, an unusual smell, marked cloudiness, or a strongly changed taste. Do not taste a syrup to test it if mould is visible.
No. Syrup is typically a sweetened, concentrated processed product, while a homemade drink may be made by steeping fresh or dried sorrel. They can differ greatly in sweetness, flavour, and ingredient control.
No. A diluted syrup drink can be enjoyable, but plain water should remain the main drink for hydration. This is especially important in hot weather or during prolonged activity.
A diluted serving may suit someone who wants a quick source of carbohydrate before short activity. If sweet drinks upset your stomach, avoid trying it for the first time immediately before exercise.
A caffeine-free version is not expected to be stimulating, so it can be enjoyed in the evening. However, regularly having sweet drinks just before bed is not ideal for dental health.
Frequent sipping of sweet and potentially acidic drinks can increase exposure of tooth enamel to sugar and acids. Have it with a meal or in one sitting when possible, then rinse with water.
Yes. Mixing a small amount with sparkling water creates a lighter, fizzy drink. People with reflux, bloating, or a sensitive stomach may find carbonated drinks uncomfortable.
No. A botanical flavour does not mean a syrup is free from added sugar or other sweeteners. Check the ingredient list and treat it as a sweet beverage rather than an everyday replacement for water.
