A little-known secret about jam doughnuts has been let out the bag.
The tasty treats are among the most popular snacks in bakeries up and down the country.
But Australian doughnut franchise Donut King has just publicised the major industry secret, according to The Mirror.
Speaking to news.com.au, the Essex branch general manager Andrew Badcock revealed that sometimes jam doughnuts do not contain jam at all.
He explained: "Some food brands use apple paste or sauce as the core ingredient in their raspberry jam recipe.
"With its natural sweetness and no pips, apple sauce is widely used for its smooth and ‘jammy’ texture."
He added: "Many customers show a proclivity towards smoother and more consistent textures in their food choices as it’s a more familiar and comforting experience.
"Pips, seeds and smaller grains tend to get caught in teeth and a lot of people don’t appreciate that sensation."
So, there you have it. What you once took for granted has been turned on its head. Will you ever look at the world in the same way again?
