Interesting - still seems very low to me. Sometimes these companies get it wrong. Worth checking on an app or chart (e.g.myfitnesspal) I would have thought that lot was nearer 20g carbs!

I am happy that it's correct.being as it's boiled frozen.I think if it were fresh it may be different .i don't know I hate veg anyway
 
Ah right they are all in separate packets, Ive got you now. Its funny how different brands can have different values. I always compare no matter what I am buying. Good on you for eating so much veg considering you dont like them very much.

I've been bad today, not only did I succumb to a pack of Organix Goodies organic cheese and herb puffs (15g bag 9.something carbs) in Waitrose, but I also had two Carr's water biscuits (2.5g each) slathered in Sainsbury's organic soft cream cheese, with an organic red grape halved on each. Probably the only grapes I will see tho as husband is quite capable of eating the rest while cooking.

In theory, dinner tonight is Welsh organic lamb chops with broccauli mash or ratatouille.
