WEBVTT - TNC Review: Wraps 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.600 Do you prefer wraps instead of bread? If you or 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:05.840 your family prefers a rap for lunch, you will have 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:08.600 noticed that there are more and more varieties popping up. 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.080 There's low carb, there's keto, mixed brain, there's minis for 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.440 the kids, high fiber. So we are pretty big raps 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.479 fans today, Leanna and I, So we're going to share 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.360 our thoughts on some of the most popular wraps that 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.960 you can find in supermarkets. Hi, I'm Czyburrel and Amlea Wood, 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.479 and as two of ustrates leading dieticians, we bring you 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.760 the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on new 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.680 products and old favorites that you can find in supermarkets. 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.559 So Leanne I do buy wraps, and the way that 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.159 I use them is as a quick breakfast on the 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.640 co So sometimes I find that I have to leave 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.199 really early with my boys. They are not rap eat 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.879 it's actually they're much more into just normal bread. But 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.959 if I know I've got an early start, I might 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.000 grab a coffee and I pack like a mini rap 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.080 and I just sort of stick some meat or cheese 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.000 and a bit of salad on it, and I just 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.040 find it's sort of an easy way to have almost 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.640 a balanced breakfast that I can make the night before, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:00.920 and I find the rap for better or for worst, 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.680 do last quite a long time. So if I buy 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.160 a packet, it might last me a couple of weeks 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.920 if I store it correctly, and my clients love them. 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.240 You know, I've got really big rap fans out there. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.240 In general, I think there's a perception that they're healthier 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.320 because they're thinner, which, like anything, is not always the case, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.760 which is why we're going to take a closer look 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.440 at them today. But are you routinely buying wraps on 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:19.840 your grocery shop each week? 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.080 I'm not a rap like is in a lunch wrap 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.959 sort of like chicken salad rap kind of person. No, 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.319 I'm not. My clients definitely love wraps like yours. They're busy, 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.200 they're you know, the time poor. Where we use wraps 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.959 is more like if we have tacos, so we like 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.440 the soft tacos and we might do like the I 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.200 guess you just call them soft tacos right where you 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.160 put a bit of protein and veggies and for here 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.200 that sort of thing. Yeah, we do it more as 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:41.640 a dim option where we might have a bit of 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.760 Mexican or something for dinner. But I'm not Deavid and 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.560 I aren't big wrap people for lunch, like I'd love 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.480 to do a meal prep. We we've got some rice 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.280 or quinoi or potatoes like carb saws, or I'm just 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.560 going to do a salad with a bit of like 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.680 roasted potato or legumes or something in a much more 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.680 of a hot meal or a salad type girl for lunch. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.200 I don't know, It's just sort of become my preference 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.200 over the years. I think I just didn't really find 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.920 wraps that feeling where I'd find it. I'd have to eat 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.720 too or three to really fill up on them, So 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.960 I more prefer my volume dense meals in other options, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:08.760 I guess, And. 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.280 I know there's a lot of parents listening and kids 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.640 sometimes prefer them at school. So I've sort of went 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.320 through this morning and found three that were interesting for 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.520 different reasons. So the first one I've chosen is one 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.880 of the Mission varieties. Now, Mission is one of the 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.680 big players in the wrap section of supermarkets. They've got many, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.760 many different types, So I just chose the kind of 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.600 original large one. It doesn't market as whole meal or 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.880 whole grain. It's sort of the typical white. I didn't 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.560 get the mini the large one, so a serving size 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.440 is about seventy one gram, so it is a larger wrap. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.080 If I look at the ingredient list, it is seventy 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.519 two percent wheat flour, and it's got some B group 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.280 vitamins added to that water, mineral salt, sidized salt, some 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:55.799 vegetable oil, sugar, vegetable gums, and multifier acidity regulator preservatives. Now, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.640 the interesting thing about these that I'll come to in 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.240 a second, not insignificant calorie wise. So this wrap is 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.760 seven hundred and fifty eight kilodels, which is just shy 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.079 of two hundred calories per serve, which is quite concentrated 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.960 in energy just for the bread kind of section of 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.839 a rap that you were making. It's got six point 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.600 one grams of protein perserve, two point one grams of fat, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.880 so it's a low fat food at three percent, very 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.120 little saturated fat as you would expect from a plain 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:28.200 type bread. Thirty three point two grams of carbohydrate perserve, 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.359 which is as a reference point, we usually would say 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.720 two slices of bread is roughly thirty grams of carbohydrate. Now, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.160 the lower carb loaves like a bergen for example, that's 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.320 got a very dense grain through it is about twenty 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.600 four So for me, this is quite concentrated. It's sort 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.080 of two slices of bread at least in that thin 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.960 white wrap two point three grams of sugars And often 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.360 it's beliefle and isn't it that people think sugar is 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.680 added to bread, which is generally not the case. But 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.400 in the case of this wrap, there is some sugar 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.120 added to it, not a huge amount of dietary fiber. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.520 This is not whole wheat flour. This is just plain 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.880 white wheat flour at one point six grams, which is 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.600 a bit low lean and I would like to generally 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.480 say at least three grams of fiber at least inner wrap. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.000 But the standout thing for me that differentiates this brand 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.240 and in this product, that's got six hundred and sixty 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.799 nine milligrams of sodium. Now, the upper daily recommended intake 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.440 for sodium for an Australian adult is two thousand, so 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.080 this is you know, a third of that in a 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.920 single rap. So I would describe it as a high 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.240 salt product in this category. So mission as I said, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.520 I've got a lot of different varieties. There's minis, there's 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.440 whole wheat, and this is not one of the ones 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.520 I would be going. Even though it looks pretty healthy 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.440 on the surface, when we take a deep dive in 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.760 the nutritionals, it's pretty low in dietary fiber, it doesn't 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.400 have a whole grain base, and it's really really high 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.680 in sodium, which is probably why they taste great, particularly 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.800 when you're having Mexican and things with them. And two 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.800 hundred almost two hundred calories per serverly, and like if 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.920 you start to add sort of meat and salad or 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.400 cheese onto that, you're going to end up with a 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.000 four or five hundred calorie wrap in no time. So 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.040 certainly wouldn't be on shopping list. And if I was 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:02.960 going for this brand, I would seek out the Minis, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.560 And they do have a mini whole grain variety that 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.799 I sometimes use if I don't have the other ones available, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.520 I mean serving. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.520 Size wires and in two hundred calories, for larger bodies 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.600 or active people or you know, larger males, there's no problem. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:19.280 It's completely fine. But for somebody whose goal is fat loss, 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.800 if you're not moving a lot, if you're living in 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.520 a smaller body, it's probably I mean, I wouldn't say 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.200 it's too big. It really just depends on what you're 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:26.760 pairing it with. If you're just putting a little bit 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.760 of low fat cheese and some salad, and it's not 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.560 too bad. But if you're going to, you know, put 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.159 a whole whack of half an avocado in there with 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.120 a bit of lamb left over from dinner the night before, 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.400 and some olives and some extra cheese in there with 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.560 a little bit of salad, you're probably looking at a 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.120 high calorie meal. So I mean, I think it's okay. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.240 I just don't think there's anything outstanding it. I think 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.440 the sodium amount is far too much, as you said, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.880 and dietary fiber wise, i'd really like to see four 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.960 to five grams in their per serving at a minimum 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.479 for most sort of healthy adults. So this isn't something 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.600 they would even register on my list when it comes 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.680 to record many them for my client. And you know, 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.960 about thirty three grams of cubs per one wrap, you're 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.080 kind of getting the equivalent of two slices of bread. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.920 And the funny thing is that I'm just looking at 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.080 the marketing on the front of the label. So it's 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.440 the would you call that a green greenish kind of color? 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.960 It's like a green yellow kind of color. Mission wrap 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:20.360 light light light what light like? Light? Low fat light, 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.640 low calorie like, what does light even mean? The marketing 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.719 on some of these labels just makes me pull my 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.800 hair out, SUSI, because I just think people look at 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.200 that and they pick it up and they go light 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.800 lit eat, great for fat loss, probably the opposite of 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.640 what most small women or non active people want, and 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.120 the equivalent to one rap. You're getting about two slices 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:39.840 of bread in there. If it were me, I think 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.560 I'd rather a good quality, grainy bread and build a 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.280 proper sandwich out of it versus a rap. Because I think, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.560 like you said, people think they're having a light lunch option, 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.159 and this is where that marketing halo kind of comes 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.480 in there, a light lunch option, So then they do 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.919 say yes to the chocolates or the biscuits or the 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.680 afternoon tea, you know, coffee and cake because they think 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.760 they're having a light, healthy lunch. I think that's where 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.599 we sort of run into a little bit of problems. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.159 So just looking at that carbohydrate spread and there's nothing 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.159 ideal in there either it's basically a white wrap. I 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.560 mean there's a tiny, tiny, tidy bit of dietary fiber 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.080 in there, but nothing significant or nothing what we want 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.200 to actually support and narish our gut heuse. So this 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.520 is a thumbs down for me. I don't really see 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.960 any particular benefit even budget wise, Like if you're going 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.360 to buy a rap if you're looking at a budget, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.200 I'd be getting the home brand calls or Woolli is 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.080 one which is perhaps even a little bit better nutritionally 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.920 than this one. So this one doesn't really tick any 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.840 boxes for me. I would wouldn't really recommend it. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.920 It's a bit harsh, and my eyes are so bad. 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:35.520 I didn't see it, said the light on that, So 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.800 you've got a good eye for that. I tee who 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.440 it's good for though, if you were going on like 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.720 an all day hike or an endurance event, it would 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.280 be perfect for you because it's good so as a 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.760 carbo hydrate, low in dietary fiber, and pretty high in 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.360 sodium if you were sweating in the hot sun. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:48.080 Yeah, very true. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.960 If you've got any big hikes planned, if you're an 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.440 athlete and quite fit and need sort of readily available 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.960 fuel over a day walk or run. I'd be that'd 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:57.720 be the brand for you. 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.640 Yeah, if you're a triathlete on the bike you can 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.200 do a bit of peanut butter and honey. That'd be 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:05.360 the perfect little during during session top up that you need. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.280 Yep, that would be the exact right product for you. 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.560 All right. Now, the next one I chose, which I 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.400 find fascinating to be honestly, and and Willis I think 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.160 have a very similar product too, but I've gone for 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.560 the Coals seventy percent lower carb, high fiber wrap. And 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.600 the thing I find interesting is that it is a 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.600 white wrap. Now, if anyone shops at Coals, you would 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.040 have noticed they've got this sort of range coming through 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:31.960 of low car but white products, because generally speaking, when 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.880 we're having low carb breads, you tend to see a 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.840 very dense grain or wholemeal base. But I actually inquired 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.640 with the Coals Nutritionness about this product because I said 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.120 to her, is this a formulated flower that's been made 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.480 for Coals that's got this profile, because it's really hard 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.520 to get a white flower that's got that much fiber 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.560 in it. And yes, indeed, the truth is it has been. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.200 It's a proprietary blend that's made, and hence they can 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.480 do these breads and obviously wraps that are white that 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.439 have this huge fiber loon. So it's forty two grams, 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.440 so it's sort of just over half the actual size. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.920 So this looks like kind of the minis that you 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.280 see in supermarkets. Per serve just over one hundred calories 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:08.960 or just about one hundred calories I should say, four 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.920 hundred and eleven kilodols seven point seven grams of protein, 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.080 which is huge for this small product. Three point three 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.280 grams of fat, so it is not a low fat food, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.200 which suggests it's got a fairly good whack of grain 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.880 in it, or I think possibly soy. It's coming from 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.559 wheat fiber. It's got just five point eight grams of carbohydrate, 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.520 so very low, less than a slice, less than half 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.600 a slice of bread of carbohydrate. You could possibly use 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.680 it on a kto possibly possibly too high in protein 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.360 for that dietary fiber six point eight gram seven gram 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.079 so really quite high. Sodium is very low at one 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.000 sixty milligrams. So the ingredients of water, wheat flour again 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.320 fortified soy protein is where that protein level is coming 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.520 from as well as this special modified wheat starch. So 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.800 this is what they're using to make a high fiber 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.240 product that's still white. They're then adding the wheat starch 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:00.840 back in, and I know, I've got some thoughts on 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.120 that land about the difference between naturally occurring fiber and 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.400 then companies adding it back in wheat gluten, which is 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.400 bumping again up the protein. Vegetable shortening which is palm oil. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.960 I don't like to see that on a nutrition label. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.920 So your favorite one, SUSI, you know. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.200 A hydrogenated shortening there, apple sided vinegar, which is making 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.000 it not sort of keep it's keeping that freshness that 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.800 you get with the wrap. You almost get a vinegar 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.480 flavor from some of them. WAT another source of fiber 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.600 or wheat fiber, baking powder, raising agents thick and our 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.520 wheat brand, and mulsifier, acidity regulator. I'dized salt preservatives. My 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.320 kids just had a massive crash. If anyone's just heard 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.920 that bang in the background. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:37.760 I did. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:43.000 This is a fascinating product nutrition Land. It is fascinating, 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.720 macro wirese fascinating it And I remember talking to another 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.360 dietician about this at some point and she was like, 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.320 it's all well and good for the nutritional label to 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.360 be what looks so strong in terms of it's got protein, 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.079 it's calorie controlled, it's low in sodium, time fiber, But 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.080 it doesn't take away from the fact this is a 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:07.240 heavily processed food. When you look at this ingredient list 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.920 compared to a dense whole grain bread, which would have 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:15.160 more carbohydrate probably less fiber, you would absolutely argue that 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.800 the whole grain bread is a million times better because 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.360 it's less processed. And I have to agree, particularly when 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.600 you're looking at something that's got ingredients like modified wheat 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.520 starch to bump up the fiber, and things like vegetables 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.840 shortening from palm oil to give it some taste and texture, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.959 and obviously throw in some saturated fat to boot. So 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.280 I indeed have clients that use this kind of lower 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:40.760 carb rap, but I don't generally go for this one. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.520 I agree, I absolutely have clients that use this as well, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.040 particularly in a fat loss space, particularly if we're word 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.559 working with tighter budgets, tighter numbers. We need some of 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.720 those macros, like we need the high protein ones. If 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.000 I've got plant based clients or I really need that 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.240 extual lack of dietary fiber if we've got you know, 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.040 quite bad constipation. But then I'm also adding things like 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.360 black beans and tight of salad into there as well 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.400 to get also that you know, proper dietary fiber that 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.720 we want. It's almost what I call this is terrible wording, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.240 but like fake fiber, do you know what I mean? 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.120 Like when it's a white based wrap and you're just 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.640 modifying it for to appear super high fiber, but it's 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.320 not the type of good quality dietary fiber that we 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.920 want to feed and nourish our gut health. Really, so 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:25.280 on paper, the nutritional label the Macro spread absolutely stacks 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.600 up as one of the best that we see in 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.240 the supermarket. But you're right, it is a heavily, heavily 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.760 modified product. There is some palm oil in there, which 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.800 you know, we do know, we don't love. And yeah, 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.760 perhaps there are better ones out there ingredient and health wise, 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.040 but I definitely have used this before for my clients, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:41.559 I will be honest, and I think for the right 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.600 person it can work. But I think when you're out 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.360 of that fat lous phase and you're really aiming for 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.199 good quality, healthy food products. It's not something that I'd 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.760 be using or recommending every day, and they're definitely better 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:51.840 health ones on the market. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.240 I find it really fascinating. So that was worth a 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.199 good discussion, all right. So the third one that I've 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.440 chosen will be a brand that our listeners are really 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.480 familiar with because Simpsons Pantry have a huge number of 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.439 Rapsley and like. It took me ages to go online 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.200 and really find out the one I wanted to talk about, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.880 because there's Keto, there's spinach, there's like Minisi kids, white 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.080 Minis for kids. So this was one I actually hadn't 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.920 seen before, but it certainly was online in Coals. Again, 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.480 I was looking at Coals Online, and I'll be fully transparent. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.800 The reason I often go Coals Online when I'm looking 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.160 is because I can cut and paste the content easy 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.480 into our script because in Willies it does it always go, 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.719 So that's the only reason I do it from their website. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.400 So this is the Simpsons Pantry, low carb grains and 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.439 seven seeds plus fiber. It's got five hell star ratings, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.120 It's in the Pink packet, and of course we will 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.760 put a picture up on our infographics that we always 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.480 put on Instagram every week to make it a bit 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.200 easier for listeners to track these products down. Pers at 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.160 seventy grams, so the typical larger rap size just shy 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.560 of two hundred calories per serve at seven hundred and 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:54.000 thirty one killer jewels, thirteen point four grams of protein, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.520 which is really significant, you know, like I'm sort of 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.199 aiming for twenty roughly grams of protein, so you're getting 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.880 a lot a plant based source of protein coming through 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.720 this wrap. The fat is not low, which doesn't surprise 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.720 me because if we're looking at a lot of seeds 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.480 and grains, they do have a high fat content and 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.280 that's certainly the case in this product. So it's got 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.480 nine point four grams of fat per hundred, so you'd 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.680 look and think, oh, it's high in fat, But when 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.480 we sort of take a deep dive, it does have 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.320 some saturated fat more than three grams per hundred three 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.760 point one per serve, so it's not low in fat. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:25.800 But again we'll take a look win in a second 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.200 nine point three grams of carbohydrate per serve, which is 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.760 about half just over half a slice of bread, So 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.840 it's kind of just shy of a slice of bread 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.360 worth of carb in that seventy gram serve. It does 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:38.840 have some sugars in it, will take a look in 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.360 a second if they're added or naturally occurring. Thirteen grams 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:46.320 of dietary fiber per serve, which is huge load massive 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.120 two hundred and fifty three milligrams of sodium, so reasonable 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.560 for a large wrap. That's not I wouldn't be concerned 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.480 if it was less than three hundred. We sort of 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.320 look for less than three hundred milligrams per hundred grams, 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.600 so it's not low, but it's not any concern to 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.280 be high here. So ingredients water, homeal wheat flour, yare 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.080 so straight away, I'm really happy with that. Now it 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.760 doesn't have the percentage of homeal wheat flour through it, 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.920 but I always would like to see whole wheat or 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.960 whole grain as their first ingredient. Soy protein, which is 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.480 again where that protein load is slightly coming from, or 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.040 say slightly because it will be coming from some of 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.880 these other ingredients wheat, starch, vegetable shortening. So there's our friend, 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.800 palme oiligan I'd suspect slipping in wheat gluten then there's 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.560 a four percent gray and grain and seed blend. And 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.760 here they're using flax seed flour, chia seed flour, brown 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:38.200 linen seeds, kibbled purple wheat, molted wheat flakes, kibbled chika 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.840 Leare you say that? How do you say that? 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:49.840 Check tricker car It's a whole crain, kimbled wheat, kimbled rye. 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:55.440 It's a lot of kiood maze, white kin Wi seeds, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.640 red kine seeds, black Kini seeds, wheat fiber, apple sided vinegar, 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.920 bakey powder, raising agents, signo mulsifia. So it's sort of 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.840 the formulation of the rap, which is very similar in 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.320 terms of order of ingredients, is very similar to the 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.920 coals mixed. So that's obviously the formula that the bakery 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.760 whether they're making also the coals proprietary in their factory 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:18.280 is possible because obviously the companies will use different factories 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.680 and on that mix. To me, says it's the proprietary 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.720 blend for a rap and then they just add different 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:23.320 things to it. 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.240 But there's a lot of sort of little grains and 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.400 seeds going on here, and I thought, yes, there is 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.480 some sort of formulated fiber, but far less so than 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.960 in the other products. I sort of I quite like it, 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.640 you know, if I was, I quite like it. I 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.680 think that mix is nice. I don't have concerns. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:42.080 Really. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.040 There's a bit of palm oil I think in there, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.320 which is not ideal, but that will happen in a 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.400 wrap compared to a bread. That's the benefit of having 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.840 a whole grain bread over a rap. But I thought 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.040 it was interesting to discuss because I know we sort 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.040 of talked about this recently and you said you had 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.480 some thoughts on it too, So certainly it would be 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.440 my pick of the three. But there's some pros and cons, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:01.880 isn't there? 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.960 Absolutely? And you're right I like it. On paper. It 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.679 looks like you look at the nutrition information panel and 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.560 it kind of ticks all the boxes right, like it's 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.120 it's good for energy. Sure it's higher, but as you said, 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.600 it's the main carve source in the meal. That it's fine. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.280 The proteins are great. Whack in a wrap thirteen point 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.280 four is insane. The fat balance is really coming from, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.119 as you mentioned, a bit of palm oil plus a 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.760 few of those like little seeds blended. But not to 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.320 take anything away it's only four percent seeds, so there's 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.400 a hell of a lot of good quality ingredients. When 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.120 you look at the flax seed flower and the cheer 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.600 seed flour, and the you know, the Quinois seeds and 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.560 the brown limb seeds, that's all great, but it's only 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.640 four percent, so it doesn't actually make up a large 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:42.800 bix of it. It is still quite processed, but I 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.159 would say it is probably a better option than the 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.000 coals one. However, it is a little bit more energy dense, 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.479 but you are getting more protein and fire. But in 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.640
