    Spices

    thanks for the repies, but this seems to be focussing on bg levels, im more interested in carb content, im aware of the health benefits, but am doing lchf so need to concentrate on the actual carbs, as opposed to the bg level.

    Spices

    whats the score with using powdered spices like ground ginger, garlic granules etc, do they affect the carb content, none of the bottles give nutritional values so im a bit wary, but it would be nice to add a little heat with some smoked paprika on some crispy fried belly pork
