[QUOTE="Moogie1947, post: 110367, member: 19105"] As a long term vegetarian and a low carbing one for the last year since I was diagnosed as T2, I have been looking around for a substitute for the pulses I used to eat all the time. I really miss my lentil curry and have to rely more on cheese and eggs for the majority of my protein now. I found that the tins of Organic Black Soy beans (imported from the US) recommended in some low carb diet receipe books say 8g of carbs but 7g of fibre giving a net carb count of 1g per 100g. However I don't find the beans very palatable. Most other tinned beans have higher carb counts 23g per 100g for black eyed beans and 15.5 / 100g for chick peas. All except for the little green Organic lentils called Bijoux Vert from Waitrose (& other stores). These state a carbs per 100g of 8.54. Does anyone know why these should be so much lower? Or is there a possibility that there is some mistake. [/QUOTE]
