Description

LINDT LINDOR MILK HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

PRIMARY USES

1. Sensory Pleasure and Appetite Stimulation for Patients with Reduced Oral Intake
Primary Use: Provides a premium milk chocolate truffle with a delicate shell containing crunchy roasted hazelnut pieces and an exceptionally smooth, melting hazelnut-infused centre, creating a multi-sensory experience that triggers dopamine release and can help stimulate appetite in patients with reduced oral intake or undergoing palliative care.
How it helps: For the oncology dietitian and palliative care nurse, patients undergoing chemotherapy or with advanced disease often experience reduced appetite, taste alterations, and low mood. The rich combination of smooth milk chocolate and crunchy hazelnut pieces offers varied texture and deep flavour that can appeal to altered taste perceptions . The pleasurable sensory experience can help stimulate appetite and improve overall nutritional intake. For the patient, this offers a moment of indulgence that can lift spirits and provide comfort during challenging health journeys.
2. Energy-Dense Nutritional Supplementation
Primary Use: Each truffle provides approximately 73-77 calories (based on 36g serving of 3 truffles providing 220-230 kcal) , with the hazelnuts adding protein (5.1g per 100g) and healthy fats to this concentrated energy source .
How it helps: For the dietitian and clinician, patients with cancer cachexia, malabsorption disorders, or recovering from illness often have poor appetite and elevated energy needs. With 48g fat per 100g and 627 kcal per 100g, these truffles provide dense calories in a small volume . The hazelnut content (4.2%) also contributes beneficial monounsaturated fats . For the patient, this provides an enjoyable way to increase caloric intake without feeling overly full.

SECONDARY USES

1. Non-medical comfort for needle phobia or distressing procedures: Offering a Lindor truffle as a reward or distraction during venepuncture, cannulation, or vaccinations can reduce anxiety, with the rich, melting texture providing a strong sensory focus.
2. Reward to improve adherence to oral nutritional supplements (ONS): For patients who refuse or struggle to consume prescribed oral nutritional supplements, offering a small, indulgent truffle as a reward can serve as positive reinforcement, improving acceptance and adherence to nutritional therapy.
3. Cognitive stimulation in dementia and Alzheimer’s care: The multi-textured experience of the crunchy hazelnut shell and smooth centre can provide sensory stimulation and reminiscence opportunities for patients with cognitive decline.
