These are from a company called Low Carb Emporium

7 grain fiber bagels(sesame)
these are Kosher. Ingredients a
Almond flour, soy flour, bran flour, whole wheat flour, oat flour,
sesame flour, unbleached flour, vital wheat, wheat germ, sunflower
seeds,
salt, anise seeds, cream or tartar, rye sour, egg whites, sucralose,
dry
yeast, soy protien, olive oil, sesame seeds.
The package claims 5g carb minus 4g fiber =1 net carb for the sesame
bagel:

They are pretty good as pizza crust, ahem with cream cheese, for tuna
melt 9eat half, etc. life is grand!


First thing that caught my eye is that each bagel is 2.5 servings (15
servings for a package of 6 bagels.). That's not a good sign - they
play games to make the numbers look better right off the bat. Secondly,
I think they played the presubtraction game, and that the true totals
are 9 grams of carbs of which 4 are fiber.

You've got to be careful with these foods. There are quitte a few
companies that will merrily take your money while they lead you astray.

Take care,
