Nutritional & practical notes

• Portion awareness: small packs help with sensible portions (or at least the illusion of them).
• Teeth talk: like all sweets, enjoy in moderation and keep up the brushing.
• Sensible storage: moisture is sherbet’s nemesis—airtight containers are your ally once opened.
