Probably not a great surprise but Wikipedia appears to be wrong.
It states 9g carbs per 100g. According to other sources I use - Carbs and cals, my fitness etc. they are 1-2 g per 100g
Posting this jus tin case anyone relies on Wikipedia.

Good grief.

This is why I end up being confused. So what is the right number of carbs?

Those links are not from Uk sites, so they are showing total carbs, including fibre. If you deduct the fibre from the carbs you’ll get the UK equivalent. Google is not always your friend!

Use a UK supermarket site. They are more reliable than MyFitnessPal, Google or Wikipedia. They are not perfect (check out almonds) but at least they have a consistent perspective that fibre is excluded from total carb count unlike in the USA and some other places.
 
According to the Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset, which is about as reliable as you'll get, the carb content is 1.9g/100g.
 
all,

thanks for your help.
