M&S Beetroot and Mint Dip

[SWpaddyman]

Hi all, was hoping someone can help me out with the syns on this

Per 100g
Kcal 140
Protein 3g
Carb 11.3g
Fat 8.6g
Fibre 3g

the Beetroot content is 31g per 100g of Dip and beans make up another 16g per 100g

You can just use 1 syn for every 20 calories as there is no free food allowance on dips - so 7 syns per 100g xx

Thanks PatchworkPuss... how is the beetroot not a free food?
