Why does Speculoos have a relatively high salt content?
The 3.7 grams of salt per 100 grams comes from table salt, which is present in both the cookie pieces and as a separate ingredient in the formula. Speculaas naturally has a slightly salty, spicy taste, with salt acting as a flavor enhancer alongside cinnamon. Per 3-gram serving, this amounts to 0.11 grams of salt, which falls within a normal daily intake. For comparison: a regular speculaas cookie contains similar amounts of salt per gram.
