Tahini carb count?
Saw three different brands at the supermarket. One had 5 total carb grams
and 3 grams of fiber; one had 4 total and 4 grams of fiber, one had 9 total and 3 grams of fiber. all were for one tablespoon. Why the discrepency? -- *·.¸_¸.·'¨¨) ¸.·' (_¸.·' Jonathan Go to http://www.guestroomproject.com/ to hear some music from my upcoming solo album, the Guestroom Project. I play all the instruments. |

Tahini carb count?
The discrepancy is probably because some of the labels are deducting the
fiber from the "total carb" number and others aren't. Remember that non-US labeling conventions often make manufacturers subtract the fiber from the "total carb" numbers while US labeling conventions make them leave the fiber in. So using your figures One had 5 total carb grams and 3 grams of fiber. If the fiber is deducted from the total carb grams, the U.S. total carb grams would be 8. one had 4 total and 4 grams of fiber, Again the total has deducted the carbs, the U.S. label total carb grams would be 8. one had 9 total and 3 grams of fiber. The fiber was not deducted, so the total is 9, one gram more than the previous label. Possibly rounding, possibly a slightly bigger portion size--tablespoons rather than milliliters? .. The rest is probably portion size or rounding . -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2. Cut the carbs to respond to my email address!
