Spelt?

[flutterbyuk25]

i've just bought a packet of red pepper and chilli spelt from Morrisons, anyone have any idea of the syns?

Is spelt a free food? Box says it's similar to couscous.

TIA

Basic/Non Branded Foods Flour, spelt 28g

4½ Syns on Extra Easy Original 4½ Syns Green 4½ Syns

Basic/Non Branded Foods Spelt, whole grain 28g cooked

0 Syn on Extra Easy Original 2 Syns Green Free

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

0 Syn on Extra Easy Original 5½ Syns Green Free

I couldn't find the red pepper and chilli spelt though.

Thanks hun,

I reckon spelt is free then as it's wholegrain, but the flavoured one must have few syns.

The info per 100g cooked is:

105kcal
3g protein
21g carbs
1g fat, of which saturates 0.4g

I've just run this through the calculator and it says;
5½ Syns per package/portion on Extra Easy
5½ Syns per package/portion on Green
5½ Syns per package/portion on Original

However, I didn't have the pack size so just put in 100g. If you give me the size of the pack I can try again

Cheers cazie, the pack size is 110g, protion size is 55g. So about 2.5/3syns per portion approx I reckon.

Ok, I've calculated it per 100g with the portion size being 55g and it's a massive

1½ Syn per package/portion on Extra Easy
1½ Syn per package/portion on Green
1½ Syn per package/portion on Original

The whole box would be 3 syns.
