I just noticed that the half and half I was buying (store brand) has some added ingredients. One of them is carageenan (sp?) which is used as a thickener but i'm pretty sure it's a starch! The other ingredients are some sodium chemical and something else which I would think are preservatives. I got a name brand half and half and it has no carageenan in it but it has the other 2 sodium things in it. When I look up the heavy cream (I want to make french cream) Every brand I have found has carageenan in it. What does everyone use for half and half? Or cream when you want to make a thick yogurt out of it? -UC - 1 yearSCD - 3.5 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 4 pills 3 times a day - hopefully scd will help me get off these! No more Hydrocortisone or Prednisone!

Carageenan is a definite illegal.

I have trouble finding legal cream and half and half sometimes. Borden's,

in this area, has been okay, but I generally prefer that from a local

dairy.

Oak Farms (which is in Houston where I live) has half n half, cream, milk, etc. with nothing added.  If you have Whole Foods or a mom and pop store (anything besides a chain grocery) you may be able to find it locally.  For instance, I can get the milk, half n half and cream at the Texaco station down the street otherwise I have to go to Fiesta grocery stores which carries that brand.  Same with AA eggs, they are from a local source but hard to find in chain stores.

When I look up the heavy cream (I want to make french cream) Every brand I have found has carageenan in it. What does everyone use for half and half? Or cream when you want to make a thick yogurt out of it? I use either whole foods brand (365) half and half, or organic valley half and half. I haven't found a cream without additives yet.
