I was having a wander online and stumbled across this...

It’s 5g of carbs per 100 from lactose and nothing but cheese. Has anyone tried it? Would you try it?

Have you read the one star review by 'Sunday'? Personally, I would be steering clear.

I did. I don’t think they know what paprika is!
70% 5 star rating though.

I’ve been reducing and picking ‘better’ carbs for my grandchildren since January (I’m temporarily lodging with them), I may try it out on them.

Wouldn't it be easier (in terms of availability) and slightly cheaper to use Parmesan? I think it has roughly the same carb value.

It’s the taste and texture I'm after. I’m a bit cheffy and handy with ingredients and I can think of quite a few things this may be handy for. Parmesan is too strong to be used for most of them.

Seems innocuous in terms of the ingredients list.

Looks like the stuff they put on wotsits! Ahhh wotsits a past life favourite, agree it could be handy but I'm not sure I could leave it alone lol

Anyone tried Engevita? I saw a keto recipe, spray pork scratchings with avocado oil and dust with Engevita. Not tried it as can't cope with scratchings yet.

Not tried it but it looks very like the small packet of powdered cheese that you get in those boxes of macaroni cheese which is popular in America and Scotland.

I'm pretty certain @WuTwo uses it, although, I could always be wrong. Apologies if I mis-remembered WuTwo.

Have you tried Grana Padano? It is a bit milder than Parmesan.

Thanks, it’s not what I'm after, I eat that thinly shaved.

 

[Robbity]

Would you try it?

On my pension I don't have that sort of money to experiment with pots of ground up cheese I'm afraid - I'd rather spend it on something I know I need to eat. But it's an interesting concept though...

I use it a lot. It's yeast flakes. Adds a savoury, almost nutty flavour in the cooking, and I sprinkle it over grilled tomatoes etc. I use it both for the flavour and the B vitamins. The most popular is by Marigold.

Thank you @WuTwo, I will look for suggestions online.

It arrived today and is a hit. It’s wotsis in cheesy heaven and tastes wonderful.
