Hi!

I had some baba ghanouj with roast chicken and salad for lunch. Does anyone have or know where I can find the carb count for baba ghanouj? Thanks a million.

I have a recipe for baba Ganoujh and it's simply eggplant, fresh parsley leaves, lemon juice, Tahini and garlic so I would say it's pretty low carb. Atkins new diet revolution lists that eggplant 1/2 cup serving is 2 net carbs and tahini is 2.5 net carbs per TBL. Eggplant of course being the main ingredient in the dish. Hope this helps at least give you an idea.

Thanks so much, I had a 1/2 cup so I will say 2 grams! I appreciate your help!

Hi.

If your baba ganoush was freshly prepared from eggplant and tahini, Elsah's count was probably right. But if it was commercially prepared, there are probably other fillers. Here's the low down on the brand I buy at the grocery store:

- 104 cal
- 3 g carb
- 1 g fiber
- 3 g protein

That's for a 3 tbsp serving.
