I discovered today that an "Alexa" will tell you the carbs per 100g of most common foods. All you you to do is say "Alexa how many carbohydrates in xxxxx". If you want detailed nutritional info just ask "Alex what is the nutritional facts for xxxx".
There are of course many other ways of finding this info, but Alexa is quick and easy.

I will try that with Siri :D
 
It works with "Hey Google" as well.

Edit: I just tried it with M$ Cortana on Win 10, blue screen of death straight away... :meh:

Is that including the fibre or not though? As it's US based might well give the non rest of the world answer..
 
I use Alexa a fair bit for carbs. Will be doing a check later when I get home from work and see how it compares to food I know. I will report back
