Summary
This everything bagel is made with enriched flour, which is refined and lacks the fiber and nutrients found in whole grains, leading to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. While it contains some beneficial ingredients like sesame seeds and poppy seeds, which provide healthy fats and minerals, the presence of refined flour and moderate processing level limit its overall healthiness. The inclusion of guar gum as an additive also contributes to a moderate processing score.
