Broom’s nutritional facts and ingredients leave social media users in splits

Not many of us would have known that even a broomstick contains some nutritional value! A Reddit post clicked a packaged broom and showed that it, too, carries information about nutritional value and ingredients along with other product details.

The photo showed an unwrapped broom with nutritional facts and suggested it contains 150 calories per serving. Wait, what? Yes, you read that!

Not only did it carry the calorie count but also the exact details about the fat, cholesterol, protein and other elements present in the product. This left social media users wondering whether a broom really happens to have these nutritional attributes and why.

The broom which was shown in the Reddit post had a total fat-based calorie of 13 percent for 10g. For 160mg sodium and 16g carbohydrate, the calorie record was 7 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Further details suggested the broom to have no vitamin, calcium, potassium, or sugar. Notably, the broom also carried 0.5mg iron, which added to two percent of the total calorie index.

That wasn’t all. It also noted the ingredients which shaped up to create the broom, which stunningly included salt and traces of lime.
