Polvorones calories and nutrition facts
Polvorones: 480 kcal per 100 g, protein 6.5 g, fat 25.7 g, carbs 55.3 g. 1 piece (30 g): 144 kcal.
Wrapped one by one in twists of paper, polvorones are the crumbly Christmas shortbread of Spain, made with toasted flour, lard, sugar and ground almonds – the name comes from polvo, “dust,” for the way they fall apart in the mouth. One 30 g polvorón has about 144 kcal. In Mexico the name goes to a different cookie, the buttery nut balls rolled in powdered sugar that Americans call Mexican wedding cookies, so these figures suit the Spanish kind.
