Tabasco
A friend and I started the induction four days ago and he told me that I can't have tabasco. Is this correct??
Thanks for any help! Robb |
the original tabasco has no carbs. I think it is just hot peppers and maybe vinegar. Here is some info about carbs-
http://www.tabasco.com/taste_tent/m...thy_choices.cfm The worst case scenerio is it has less than 1 carb a serving and they can get away with putting 0 on the label. but I doubt it has more than a scant amount. they do have some other flavors that taste a tad sweet so check the ingredients and label. Otherwise enjoy. I would not give up the hot sauce! |
Agreed. Fried eggs are just not the same without Tabasco. And life without hotwings would be very sad :(
|
Regular Tabasco is allowed on induction. They do have an Habanero pepper sauce that is more fruity, but I think it only has one carb per serving - and I dare you to eat more than one serving. ;)
I think Tabasco, Mrs. Dash, and herb/salt/pepper grinders all make great low carb condiments. |
Try Sambal Oelek or Matouk's Hot Sauce...vinegar and chiles, that's all...very fiery i put it on everything, low-carb and makes Tabasco taste like water!

Thanks everyone for the answers.

Thank you for the reply:-)

I noticed the website had some low carb recipes, along with the low fat. Kudos to them for a nod to us- and some of the recipes looked great. Tabasco has grown on me over the years, but I love habenero/scotch bonnet sauces myself. I also like sriracha.mmmm...but small amount of carbs so I don't use it as often as my tastebuds would like

As much as I love hot sauces, I tend to actually prefer putting crushed red pepper flakes on my food (like what is on the tables at a lot of pizza places), and I also get this stuff that is used in some Asian dishes - it is like hot pepper flakes in oil and sometimes garlic is mixed in. I forget the name of it, but I bought some at an international food store in St. Louis.

I prefer water based hot sauces and using ground pepper. I am growing my own habaneros and ghost peppers (the hottest pepper in the world) to use. Capsaicin is a known thermiogenic that will help with weight loss. I wouldn't avoid it at all.

I eat it on induction.

On the subject of hot sauce..
Is Frank's Redhot Original Pepper Sauce okay for induction too? The ingredients being: Aged Cayenne Peppers (35%), Vinegar, Water, Salt, Garlic Powder. It says 0 carb per 5ml. |
I can't imagine why someone would say tabasco is not ok on induction.
There are other reasons not to have it, but not things I'd recommend worrying about now. I don't use it because vinegar makes my head go funny, and I'm not sure if I can handle nightshades. But I really miss hot sauce and I think I will try it again someday. Sriracha is great stuff. If it weren't for the vinegar I'd probably use it and not worry about the sugar in it. |

Yes, you can use Frank's. Each of those ingredients alone can be eaten on induction, so combined in the hot sauce works well too. |
