There are NO nuts on Induction, Lorena. As for carbs, the lowest carb nut is the macadamia. You can use the carb counter on this site for accurate measurements (it is under Low Carb Tools)

Hey Nat,

I was looking at the carb counter from the tools section and it says that:

A cup of Sesame Seeds have:
Total Carbohydrates 14.09 g
Dietary Fiber 17.40 g

So when off induction, does this mean it's a "free food"? I think it would be interesting to add to recipes, etc..

Also, it list's pecan's at:
Nuts, pecans, dry roasted, with salt added 13.50 g carbs 9.50 g fiber net carbs of 4.00 g

The net on raw pecans are 4.26.

And lists Mac's at:

Nuts, macadamia nuts, dry roasted, with salt added 12.83 g carbs 8.00 g fiber net carbs 4.83 g

And raw is net 5.22.

So while Mac might be the lowest straight carbs, it seems that pecan's beat it out on the net.

I wonder if dry roasting at home has the same carb reduction that factory dry roasting does. I prefer to roast any kind of nuts/seeds before I eat them for the flavor.

Mike, seasame seeds (at least with the counter on this site) are listed as 23.45g carbs per 100g w/ 11.8g of fiber. One cup has 33.77g of carbs and 16.99g of fiber.

I don't think it's possible for a food to have more fiber than carbs - unless we change the rules of physics. Fiber is a carbohydrate
