The nutritional information is located on the back of all our bags. The label for the Benne Wafer reads as follows: Sugar, Enriched Unbromated Flour (wheat), Egg Whites, Sesame Seeds, Palm Oil (trans fat free), Salt, Baking Powder, Baking Soda. Our Benne Wafers are locally handmade with no artifical flavors, color, or sweeteners!

Soon, we are going to post pictures of all the nutritional labels for our bags so you can know in advance what’s in each of our products!
