[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2516566, member: 518059"] Thanks [USER=400972]@Rachox[/USER] - I had checked this some time ago as well as balsamic vinegar tastes sweet. I never look at the per serving numbers as they are not well defined. I also don't understand what you mean by 25-30% carbs. All calories in balsamic vinegar are carbs. The Modena we use has 19g of carbs per 100 g. A generous big spoonful sprinkling of balsamic vinegar is about 15 g, which has less than 3 g of carbs. When I did this check I considered this low enough not to worry. I had mentioned balsamic vinegar in my earlier post as you usually can get olive oil and balsamic vinegar when eating out. Comparing balsamic vinegar to Greek or natural yogurt which has 4 to 5g of carbs per 100g, but you will easily eat 100 g or more in one meal. Cauliflower also has 5 g of carbs per 100 g, even spinach has almost 4 g/100g. In absolute terms, the amount of carbs you eat from balsamic vinegar is smaller than that from vegetables, yoghurt and cheese. So unless you eat less than 30 g of carbs per day, you can indulge in a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar on salads. All that said, we actually usually mix white wine vinegar with balsamico (apologies to Italian purists) as we like the acidity of white wine vinegar. As we had a surplus of apples in our garden over the last years my partner has started making apple vinegar which is also delicious. [/QUOTE]
