[katary]

do extracts have carbs...vanilla,lemon etc? thanks gary

[umpa]

I love extracts!! Buy good quality and you will get good flavor.I love your 0 carb bread idea.I have a foccasia recipe that uses pork rinds but it also mixes them with soy flour.I will try your recipe after my parents leave and give you feedback! I love bread! I am still working on homemade pasta!

hey umpa.... i was looking around and found that vanilla extract had carbs as does Cinnamon ? some do and some dont as far as spices go? did i get bad info??? please help...ty

[Doug Varrieur]

They vary, on flavor, brand etc...  Read all labels always. Umpa made banana bread yesterday with Bananna extract, it's dynamite! No carbs in the extract.

OOOOOO, banana bread? I want some of that!!!

The extracts that are done in alcohol don't have any sugar.I like McCormick.They are in the grocery stores.Water, should be the first ingredient, then alcohol.Cheap extracts use cane sugar,you want extracts in alcohol no sugar products.Most don't have nutritional info so you have to look at ingredients.Does that help?

[katary]

kinda,but some dont even have an ingredients list...like i have Cinnamon in my hand,i know its Cinnamon,but i read on-line that it has carbs...does it?

[umpa]

what does the ingrediant list say?

[umpa]

I am sorry.I just read your post.What is the brandname? you can look it up online.Enter the brandname cinnamon extract  nutrittional information right in google.It will come up.When it does scroll down for ingrediant list.Not all brands have carbs.

[umpa]

If you cant find it send the info to me and i will look it up

[katary]

no....just plain ole Cinnamon,not extract,the spice it says online that it has carbs?

[umpa]

I am sorry, blond moment!it has 1.9 carbs per tablespoon.Thats alot of cinnamon! A  cookie recipe that makes 36 cookies only uses 2 teaspoons. It really doesn't matter.Just don't go crazy with it!
