Is Linseed

[Jim]

Forgot to say - re linseed

I have noticed some wildly different carb content for the seeds and for ground -

- Tescos brown linseeds - 13 g per 100g
- Linusit ground flax seed (Tescos) - 5.3g per 15g (!)
- Neals Yard golden/brown (H&B) - 0.7g per 100g
- Goodness linseed (direct.co.uk) - 5g per 100g

These seem to vary a lot - anyone know why? I'm obviously going for the Neals Yard ones - more Mims per serve!

I suspect it's the way they are counting the carbs somehow, it's all fibre really so the carb count shouldn't be high.

That linusit stuff is what I get in Tesco too, and you have to deduct the fibre from total carbs to get the net carbs (like they do in the states) LadyF - that really threw me at the start too!

Julian Graves brown linseeds are .7/100grms at the moment they are half price £1.86.
