Relatively low carb corn puffs
I found Utz Hulless Puff'n Corn at a truck stop in Pennsylvania. They also come in Cheese Flavor (15 carbs in 2 cups), Butter Popcorn (not hulless--13 carbs in 2 cups, and White Cheddar Popcorn (not hulless--15 carbs in 2 cups). They have a website at UTZ Products
Here's the nutrition information for the original Puff'n Corn flavor: Serving Size: 2 cups (about 30 grams) Calories: 180 Total Fat: 15 grams Total Carbohydrates: 11 grams Total Fiber: 0 grams Total Protein: 1 gram A half-cup would be a nice crunch for only 3 carbs. Hope this is helpful. |
They sound interesting... I ran them through the Hidden Carb calculator on your (trusting :D ) behalf and they actually check out as reasonably accurate ! :wave:
As long as one isn't sensitive to corn or get cravings, these could make a nice treat for occasional use! How many half-cup servings in a package, is that the 2 cups you were talking about? |
Thanks for checking this out! :)
There are 14 cups in a 7 1/2 bag for $1.59. |
My only caution with these is that corn has a very high glycemic value and I imagine with it being processed, it would be even higher than just plain corn which means that 3 grams of carb from that would raise your blood sugar higher and faster than say 3 grams of carb from broccoli. I'm interested....let us know how they effect you and be sure to eat some protein with these to offset the glycemic effect.

Lisa,
I can't eat them, because of diabetes, I already knew that. :( I just thought other people might be able to enjoy them as a crunchy treat now and then. |
