I was surprised to note that 100% fruit juice, Coca-Cola and fruit mousse for toddlers all contain approximately the same amount of sugar(s) - ~10% by weight.

The worst offender in my cupboard is a mousse by HiPP (a brand that supposedly focuses on quality) - 12,6%. Weirdly, a juice box from the same manufacturer has just 3,7%.
In any case, except for the juice box, that's a lot of sugar.
- jeffbee 3y agoIf a fruit mousse is the same thing in your country as it is in mine, it's just whipped fruit purée with egg whites and an arbitrary amount of sugar, because the sugar isn't serving a physical or chemical purpose the way it does in a sorbet. So if you make it at home you can make it with as little sugar as you want, and toddlers are still going to be extremely pleased.
