I am posting this to forewarn others so you don't make the same mistake I did.
This company provides spice mixes to use when cooking at home. https://www.simplycook.com/account
The meals I've cooked have been tasty and quick. But they use a VERY high level of sugars and sweeteners like glucose and other things in the spice mixes.
In some of their recipes they even recommend adding further sugar at the end of the cooking!
Last night i cooked a thai red curry and stupidly did not check the ingredients first. My BG reading was through the roof after the meal and when I looked I saw that glucose syrup was the No. 1 ingredient! I was shocked as I have never added sugar to a highly spiced curry. No Need!
They also do not provide nutritional info. I now feel I can't trust their products and what they put in them. The 3 products I have tried so far I discovered all have sugar and other sweeteners in the recipes.
They should declare what products they use and the nutritional values so people can be aware before a purchase.
