Part 3/7:
One of the critical considerations in evaluating these buns is their sugar content. Among the different varieties, the hot dog bun surprisingly contains the highest amount of sugar, with about 18 grams per 80-gram serving, which is roughly equivalent to 1.5 tablespoons of sugar. To contextualize this, such a sugar level is quite high for a snack and can contribute significantly to daily sugar intake.
In contrast, other buns like the floss bun and coffee bun also contain notable sugar levels but less than the hot dog bun. The presence of high sugar levels in seemingly savory or plain buns underscores the importance of scrutinizing processed baked goods often perceived as innocuous.
