Can anyone tell me if there are any syns in lazy garlic?

Thanks

I believe so as it's 'preserved' in oil, but don't know how many sorry.

oh crap i always use this, cant believe i never thought of it having syns

That's interesting, because our consultant brought some in (along with lazy chilli) last week and said they were both free? Hmm

 

[Fallen Angel]

I could be wrong! Hope I am as I love this stuff but rarely use it due to the oil!

HIya - i use this stuff all the time - it's not soaked in oil - it's in white wine vinegar - same for the lazy ginger too... so presumably it's syn free - Syn free stir fry sauce - spoon of lazy ginger, garlic & red chilli's and soy sauce.... spicy and gooood! x

There seems to be TWO types of Lazy Garlic, according to the SW SynsOnline website:


EPC Very Lazy Garlic Paste, jar 1 level tbsp

Original 1 Syns

Green 1 Syns

​

EPC Very Lazy Garlic, jar^^ per 100g

Original Free

Green Free

​

You will have to check your jar and see which one you have. The paste has oil in it, the other one doesn't.

It is made by the English Provender Company - if you want to search for the syn value of its products SW calls it EPC - and the Very Lazy products have their own website:

Very Lazy - Homepage

Ah it's called epc! I was looking under The English.... lol

Excellent!

 

[ronniejacobs]

the paste is in a tube and one in vinegar is in a jar and very handy

 

[Fallen Angel]

No - the paste also comes in a jar - I had this as a substitution on a Tesco delivery once.

You don't have to buy it from EPC either - as far as I know, Asda still do one in vinegar which is a lot cheaper!

I get my garlic and chilli from Asda in a jar and that ones in vinegar.
