MMMM! Food discovery!

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2007/02/13, 01:49 PM I bought this product the otehr night in search of a healthy substitute for pizza crust- and now I am addicted! Light Flatout wraps 1 flatbread (and it is a generous size)= 90 calories 2.5g fat, no sat or trans fats 0 cholesterol 420mg sodium 16g carbohydrate 9g fiber 0 sugar 9g protein 2% of daily calcium made with 100% stone ground wheat flour. I used it as pizza crust (both my daughter and husband liked it, too), I wrapped my egg whites and pico de gallo in it for breakfast, I warapped lettuce, turkey, cilantro and avocado in it for lunch... I am all out of it now :(...but I hope it makes a nice alternative for some of you bread-a-holics like me!:) -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.

flyonthewall Posts: 1,823 Joined: 2005/01/18	2007/02/14, 04:37 PM alright...answered my own question via google: Flatout Light Original Ingredients: Water, Vital Wheat Gluten, Oat Fiber, Whole Wheat Flour, Enova Oil (Diacylglycerol Oil Made From Soybean Oil & Canola Oil, Vitamin E & Vitamin C Palmitate , Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids), Contains Less Than 2 % Of Each Of The Following: Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Maltitol, Yeast, Baking Soda, Wheat Protein Isolate, Potassium Sorbate & Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Fumaric Acid, Calcium Peroxide, Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Calcium Sulfate, Xanthan Gum, Annatto Color, Salt, Enzymes, L-Cysteine, Niacin, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin. Now I see where the protein is coming from. Amy says "generous size" so they must be bigger than 6inches:) Now I just have to source them in Ontario

I hope you can find them! -------------- Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery.
