Re: vinegar and basalmic vinegar question

[Guest guest]

marilyn, I was curious, when the books say red wine vinegar is ok, except make sure that there is no added sugar...when you are looking at buying Kalamata olives which come in red wine vinegar is there a certain brand that is legal without added sugars, or are most safe? Olives are a later stage of course, so I am just planning. Also, when we were in Italy I brought home a tasting pack of Mazzetti balsamic Vingegar. The ingredients listed are wine vinegar, grape must, caramel color E150D. I am thinking that the carmel color wouldn't be legal..just hoping since it was made in Italy, it wouldn't have illegal sugars...unless that is what carmel color is. any thoughts on this would be great. sandy uc since 2004 scd 2 months "Wizop Marilyn L.

I think I might be really cautious about rice wine vinegar, too, just because the starch may not be gone. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund

Sandy,

As always, read labels and pray you don't get caught by the 2%

rule.

According to my E-code list, E150D is sulphite ammonia caramel. You can

read about it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulphite_ammonia_caramel

For my own purposes, since it's sugar based, I would consider it illegal.

Also, it could be a problem for those with issues with

sulphites.

About your olives: check the carbs on the side. Stuffed olives are

especially a matter for caution, as some manufacturers make a

pimento-flavored cornstarch paste and roll it out in sheets and cut it to

size. Sounds yummy, doesn't it? <sarcastic tone>

Sandy,

Well, when I first started SCD, I did a search for the European E-codes

because I was curious, and didn't find anything. Some moons later, I

found / put together a list of most of them, and I'm slowly going through

and trying to determine if they are (or might be) potentially legal or

might require caution. Some you can tell right off that they are, others

require an incredible amount of reading and study.

I then want to flip them around and have an alphabetical list by the

name, but as you may imagine, that take awhile.

>> That is very gross about the stuffed olives!!!! What

would the carb level be for olives? <<

We'elll.... you went and found it for yourself. <wicked Instructor's

This is an excellent question as I was wondering the samething.What happens if you want to buy loose kalamata olives?They are in barrels - so you can't look at the ingredients. Can you buy these, or do you have to buy the canned ones?Cause I was thinking I wanted to try an olive and rosemaryalmond/cashew loaf. And need good olives for that.

Pre-SCD, I always liked the ones in barrels better than the canned or

bottled ones. But I'm betting if you ask, they'll have a label somewhere

that they can show you with full nutritional information on it.

Olive an rosemary almond/cashew loaf? <tilt> It sounds

delicious....
