Polenta

[dudette2001uk]

Hi all!

I've been having a look at polenta as a variation on rice etc, and I was wondering whether anybody could tell me the syn values for it. I've seen two different types - Natco fine cornmeal/polenta, and the ready-prepared stuff.

Are either of these syn-free if used instead of rice etc as part of a main meal? I don't want to put it in cakes or anything. I'm so confused!

P.S. I'm going to be starting the Extra Easy plan this week.

Thanks in advance!

I couldn't find that manufacturer so I've copied the basic ones:

Basic/Non Branded Foods Polenta, whole grain 28g raw

5 Syns on Extra Easy

Original 5 Syns

Green 5 Syns
​

Basic/Non Branded Foods Polenta, whole grain, ready to use 28g cooked

1 Syns on Extra Easy

Original 1 Syns

Green 1 Syns
​

Not sure what the difference is but hope this helps x
