Mooncakes are a delicacy many of us look forward to enjoying once a year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on Sep 17, 2024. Whether you enjoy the traditional baked version or the ingenuity of flavours that accompany the softer snowskin type, mooncakes are undeniably a dessert we find hard to resist. Yet, mooncakes aren’t that great health-wise. Each of them is calorie-laden with sugar and oils and doesn’t provide much in terms of nutrients. So if you want to celebrate the festivities with lesser guilt, here are 8 spots for healthier, low-sugar mooncakes to get this Mid-Autumn Festival 2024.
