| Serving size | kJ per 100 g | kcal per 100 g | Energy density |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 g serve | 1,156 kJ | 276 kcal | medium |
| 40 g serve | 723 kJ | 173 kcal | medium |
| 60 g serve | 482 kJ | 115 kcal | low |
| 100 g serve | 289 kJ | 69 kcal | low |
| 150 g serve | 193 kJ | 46 kcal | very low |
