CARB COUNTS ON SPICES, 1 TBSP
USDA Nutrient Values
A carbohydrate free or low-carb diet involves restricting your
intake of carbohydrates, initially to less than 20g per day. The
big baddies are “refined" carbohydrates such as white bread,
rice and flour. To make up for the carbohydrate deficit, foods
high in protein and fat are used as replacements.
Please keep in mind that these counts are based on 1tbsp of
spice, which in most cases is far more than would actually be
used in most recipes.
Carbohydrate by difference means that they subtract the water,
ash, fat and protein--and the rest is legally considered carbs.
