[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2184593, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I was delighted to see this thread as I recently went through a 'chutney or no chutney?' dilemma recently. For me the answer was in perusing the carb content of boutique chutneys, ie less processed, less sugar etc etc. My English ancestors cry out to me in the piccalilli and chutney section of supermarkets :) (thank you India for this wonderful culinary gift!), and I have sorely missed them since diagnosis, so last time I decided to really get down and study the ingredients and nutritional info... to my great pleasure, coming up with the fact that LC preserves do exist! First of all I grabbed a boutique chutney with tamarillo, a wonderful sour fruit, as its main ingredient, bypassing the peach one, assuming the tamarillo would be the less sugary one, but went back to the shelf to just check, just in case... and was very surprised to see that it was the peach chutney that was in fact the lowest carb by a significant margin, and with less than 1g of carbs per two teaspoons (which would be liberally smearing on my cheese for avo tea...) (The reason logical Herr Svea suggested was that the sour fruit was deemed needing more sugar to sweeten it, and peaches.... well...) Moral - study the food label of boutique chutneys, and you may be very pleasantly surprised. And - indulged. [ATTACH=full]37245[/ATTACH] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
