Ole tortillas

Ole Tortillas

This brand says that it has 12 grams of fiber and only 5 grams of carbs. This has turned into a huge mystery. Low carbers everywhere are trying to find out if this tortilla actually has negative carb count!
Does anyone know the answer?

Gingerale,

Keke found something similar http://fattoskinny.net/index.php?topic=1320.0. This is how it was explained.

I'm really missing tortillas so a negative carb value would be awesome, if possible. Checked Ole's website. Here's a link that shows 9 grams net carb per tortilla, which is almost 1/2 of FTS daily allowed!   Ouch!

Seems to be a lot of disparity in labeling.

I would be interested to find out when you learn if you investigate further.

3 net carbs per tortilla

10 grams total carbs minus 7 grams of fiber equals 3 net grams of carbs.
