1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Put your hands up if you are a fan of homics.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that if we were

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: all voting one of our favorite foods to sit down

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: with a glass of wine, leanne, it would be perhaps

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: a dip. And I know that homas is one of

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: the most popular and a lot of people think that

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good weightless food. So today we thought

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: it was time to take a closer look at this

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: platter staple and figure out which one takes home the

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: title of best homics that we can find at the supermarket.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Lean Wood.

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: And as to irustrate as leading dieticians, we bring you

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on new

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: products and old favorites that you can find at the supermarket. Now,

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: I think even to kick it off, and my even

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: pronouncing it correctly, lean and I say homos.

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: That's how I say it? Is that right, Yeah, it's holmost.

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: It's definitely homos. But I was going to say, if

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: I'm sitting down to a glass of wine, my favorite

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: food wouldn't be homos. It'd definitely be some cheese. We

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: just covered cheese for that reason. I might add some

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: homice who my cheese platter, but I wouldn't start with them.

23
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: I must. Well.

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: I think we decided to talk about this because recently

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: I appeared on the forty Podcasts with the Girls, and

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to that, it's a fantastic podcast

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: in general, and a great episode on perimenopause and diet changes.

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: And one of the big talking points was the girls

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: finding out that homis is perhaps not I don't want

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: to say not as healthy, but a lot highing calories

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: than perhaps they might have thought, and polishing off a

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: packet of rice crackers and a tub of homis could

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: be one of the reasons you're not reaching your weight

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: loss goals. So we thought, yes, absolutely, we know just

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: from our base of listeners that there'll be a lot

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: of people who are particularly interested in homos and I

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: do enjoy it myself. My dad really likes it, and

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: so if he's coming over, I will go to the

39
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: supermarket and get our favorite brand, which I won't declare

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: on here because I don't want to skew anyone's view

41
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: before we review all the products, but certainly I know

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: dip in general is a huge growth area in the supermarket.

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Like I think back to when I grew up, the

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: dip wasn't dip. There was the Philly cream cheese and.

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: That was it.

46
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Now we have a huge number of dips in supermarket

47
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: and coming into summer in particular when we are entertaining

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: barbecues platters, I like to use a colorful dip like

49
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: a beetroot homice on my platters because I love the

50
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: purple color. But I know that a lot of our

51
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: listeners will be really interested in this, and I love

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: we've had a mix. I think you've chosen some of

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: them in our fantastic student Amy has also helped us

54
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: put these together. But I would have absolutely picked very

55
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: similar products in supermarkets. So I'm sure there'll be brands

56
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: that everyone is very familiar with. So the first one

57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about today is the pil

58
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Pearl gluten free homice. Now, this is certainly a very

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: strong brand in supermarkets. They've got a whole range. There's

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: a beetroot dip, there's a capsicum one. The one we've

61
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: chosen is the larger size. Today it's available at both

62
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Wulwiths and Coals. It retails for about six fifty it's

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: a reasonably large tub. The tub, the smaller one, which

64
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: must be about one fifty two hundred, is not inexpensive either.

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: It comes pretty close to five dollars. Now, the first

66
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: thing I will say about homice is that, and we

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: can discuss if we compare it.

68
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: I think we compare one hundred grams. What do you think?

69
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

70
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Agree, yeah, Because on.

71
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: This label, for example, a serving is described as twenty grams,

72
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: which is a small tablespoon. And I don't know anyone

73
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: leanne who when they're serving dip or homas would stick

74
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to a tablespoon. But that's a whole other discussion. So

75
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at the ingredients first. So first

76
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: of all, we've got cooked chickpeas, which is fifty three percent,

77
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: so more than half the product is strong whole food legumes.

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: Tahini is the next ingredient, which assests me in salt,

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: followed by water, extra virgin olive oil, very important part

80
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: of what we're going to talk about today, and a

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: citity regulator, and that's just to keep the flavors mixed

82
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: and not too glug together for one of a better word,

83
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: salt and preservative, potassium salt, so pretty what I would

84
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: describe is a pretty clean ingredient list. Now people may

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: hear that and say, oh, it's got a preservative. Well,

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: most packaged food will have some level of preservative or

87
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: it will turn particularly cold food like this that the

88
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: standout straight away is a really high percentage of cooked

89
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: chickpeas fifty three percent, which is really high, and the

90
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: gold standard extra virgin olive oil. Because i've reviewed dips

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: in the past, many are based or average land. They're

92
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: based on cream, cheese, or vegetable oil. They're often the

93
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: first or second ingredients across the board, which means you

94
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: have processed foods which are very high and saturated fat

95
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: or refined vegetable oils. This is one of the only brands,

96
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: if the only one in supermarket that you can find

97
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: with extra virgin olive oil, which also will explain part

98
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: of why it's more expensive than the others. You're basically

99
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: paying for a better quality product because you're not only

100
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: getting a really high percentage of chickpeas, but you're also

101
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: getting extra virgin olive oil, which is much better nutrition

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: there for us. So per one hundred grams, and we

103
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: will compare that so we can compare across the three

104
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: that we've chosen today. So keep in mind as well

105
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: that this is only five tablespoons. Now I want you

106
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: to think back to the last time you've sat down

107
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: with a container of homus. Keep in mind this container,

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: for example, there's three hundred and fifty grams. That would

109
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: be close to twenty tablespoons. Now I guarantee you would

110
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: have eaten at least half, if not the whole tub.

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: So it's actually incredibly easy to eat one hundred grams

112
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: of homice. And that's one of the concerns or issues

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: I do have with it. Where my clients include it,

114
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: they're not including a tablespoon, they're including half or a

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: whole tub, and that's perhaps where their diets off track.

116
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: So just be very very mindful of serves. So we'll

117
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: look at the one hundred grams. So it's close to

118
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: three hundred calories in just less than only a third

119
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: of that tub, so not insignificant. It's got nine point

120
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: seven grams of protein. Now it's safe to say, Leam

121
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: that it's a common belief with clients that homas is

122
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: a protein. And I point out to my clients that

123
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: it's more of a fat so if you eat a

124
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: third of the tub, you get ten grams of protein,

125
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: but that comes with a huge amount of fat or

126
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: in this instance, close to twenty grams at nineteen point seven,

127
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: so at least a third of your daily recommended intake

128
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: of fat, admittedly low and saturated fat thanks to the

129
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: tahmi which is coming from sesame and the extravergent olive oil,

130
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: which is a major bonus when comparing dips to the

131
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: average kind of avocado, deer or one's based on as

132
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: I said, cream, cheese, or vegetable oil. In the case

133
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: of Pesto dips, eight point six grams of carbohydrate, minimal sugars,

134
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't have added sugar this brand four point nine

135
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: grams of dietary fiber, so a little bit in there,

136
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: but not really if you're having a couple of tablespoons

137
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: and five hundred and four milligrams of sodium, not really insignificant,

138
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: particularly if you polish off the whole tub. But it

139
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: is one of those kind of seasoned foods out there,

140
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: so you will be getting some sodium, and it's made

141
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: in Australia, which is really important. From at least seventy

142
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: percent of Australian ingredients, So I'm pastent to say that

143
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: things like the sess Tome are probably coming from overseas

144
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: just because of supply chain issues in here in Australia.

145
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: But in the whole, it's a very strong brand nutrition Lely.

146
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: It's one that I don't have any qualms recommending, but

147
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: when I do give recommendations on Homus, we do have

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: a very strong discussion about the serving size because I,

149
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: as I said Lee, I recon my clients are having

150
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: at least half that pot, if not the whole thing,

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: when they are sitting.

152
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 2: Down to a couple of glasses of shardi on a

153
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: Friday night. I love it. I recommend it. It's a

154
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: great brand. Definitely agree with everything that you mentioned. But

155
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: I think, as you keep saying, it's quite bunny because

156
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: not only will our clients have homers, they'll actually perceive

157
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: that as being a super healthy kind of snack. So

158
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: I have a lot of clients who get home after work,

159
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: they're starting to prepare dinner, They're making the kids dinner

160
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: instead of snacking up the kid's plates, which were like, hey,

161
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: let's not really do that. It doesn't really support weight loss.

162
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: They'll make themselves a healthy snack, get out the rice crackers,

163
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: get out the homers, overeat on that, and then go

164
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: and have a big dinner and thinking that they've made

165
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: a really healthy snack choice, and always give themselves permission

166
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: to have a little something more after dinner because they've

167
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: made a really healthy choice in terms of a dip.

168
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: So nothing wrong with Homas, but as always, portion sizes

169
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: are absolutely key. But I do love this brand. It

170
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: tastes great. It's got a really nice sort of smooth texture,

171
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: and it's not too oily. Sometimes the Homases, particularly with

172
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: the added vegetable earls, can be a little bit sort

173
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: of oily and they don't make me feel great afterwards.

174
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: But this is a really good quality brand, And like you,

175
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: I love they have a garlic dip at a Beetrip

176
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: dip as well, which is just delicious.

177
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, just as an offside, they're actually my face in

178
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: that brand. I love the beech Riot dip and the cap'scum.

179
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: They're really quite low calorie if you can track them down.

180
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: All right now, this mixed one's really interestingly in and

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to need your help with your nutritional science

182
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: to explain it to me, because I'm thinking looking at it,

183
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: not quite sure what's going on. So this is another

184
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: very well known brand in supermarkets, the Black Swan's Skinny

185
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Hommice Dip, so it's straight away marketing on that idea

186
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: of being a lower fat product. It retails two hundred

187
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: grams for four dollars, so it is less expensive slightly

188
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: than the Pilpel brand per hundred grams. It does have

189
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: significantly fewer calories. Keep in mind the Propel was two

190
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: fifty eight, so this is just shy. This is just

191
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: on two hundred, so about fifty calories per hundred less,

192
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: less protein five point five grams, so almost half as

193
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: much fat, not dissimilar at fifteen grams, and very low

194
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: saturated fat. And I'm assuming that will be a mix

195
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: because it's got less sesame probably and also veg setable

196
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: oil through it. Carbohydrate eleven sugars two point seven grams,

197
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: three hundred milligrams of sodium, no detectable gluten. Now this

198
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: label is I think a little bit confusing when we're

199
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: looking at the nutritionals, which is why I'm interested in

200
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: what you're going to say about it, because this has

201
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: actually got significantly more chickpeas than the pilpel, So the

202
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: purpel's got fifty three percent, followed by tahini as their ingredient.

203
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: This one chickpease seventy seven percent, so twenty percent more

204
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: not insignificant. Next ingredient vegetable oil, which I don't it's

205
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: probably palm, but the saturated fats loow, so maybe it's not.

206
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: Might be what canola? Yeah, probably yeah, say they'd list

207
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: that it's not palm, I would say with a low

208
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: saturated fat, so I don't know why they haven't listed

209
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: it as canola. We can assume sesame seed paste is

210
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: five percent a garlic puree, so they're using that to

211
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: give it the flav as opposed. We don't have a

212
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: percentage on the sesame and tahini in the pillpel, which

213
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: is unfortunate. Garlic puree, vinegar, lemon juice, acidity regulators similar

214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: to keep that stable, salt, thickness, a little bit of sugar,

215
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: very small amount spices and preservatives now made in Australia

216
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: from eighty five percent Austraight ingredients.

217
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 2: So there's a few pros with this product. Do you

218
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: know it's cheaper?

219
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: It is got a high proportion of Australian ingredients, got

220
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: a higher proportion of chickpeas. But why then, leanne tell me,

221
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: why is the protein so much higher in the pill

222
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: pearl with less chickpea through it from the sessame?

223
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: Surely no, the tarhini, Yeah, titan is quite high protein

224
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 2: because it's a compated So they're using a better quality

225
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: tahini mix in the pill pel which is also significantly

226
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: bumping up the protein. Well, they're using a tarhani and

227
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: they're using it the sesame seed paste in the black swam,

228
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: So definitely the quality of the ingredients is much better

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: in the propel.

230
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, you really do need to have

231
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: your nutritional hat on. So lucky the nutrition couches here

232
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to differentiate this because it's not easy to see, because

233
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: I think if you were just looking at that, you

234
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: would think, oh, well, this is actually better or at

235
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: least comparable, given the higher proportion of chickpeas.

236
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: I think the ingredients aren't as good like it is.

237
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: There is added sugar, there's a little bit. Oh no,

238
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: it's actually less sodium the vegetab oil.

239
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: If we were summarizing it, the problem is the vegetable

240
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: oil because we're adding in a refined oil.

241
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: And also, what is sesame seed paste? Yesme, seed paste?

242
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: Like what goes into that?

243
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: To me?

244
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: While it is just pure sesame suits like, yeah, the

245
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: quality of it, it's not tahani like we know tahan

246
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: is basically just ground up sesame seeds with a bit

247
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: of water. What goes into a sesame seed paste? Is

248
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: there more vegetable oils in that? I just think the

249
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: quality of the ingredients is better in the propel one.

250
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: And yes, it is slightly lower calories. So from a

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: fat loss perspective, people might go, oh, the skinny homue

252
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: is better, but let's be honest, per serving, it's not.

253
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: It's you know, it's twenty thirty calories per serving. If

254
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: you're sticking to a small amount, it's it's neither here

255
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: nor there when you're having you know, half the tub. Okay, yes,

256
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: it's it's two hundred calories versus two fifty. So maybe

257
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: that does make a difference. But to me, I think

258
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: the quality of the ingredients, I personally would probably go

259
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: with a propel and recommend that more for my clients.

260
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: It's also dairy free and gluten free as well, so

261
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: it takes a lot of our boxes for our clients

262
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: that need, you know, civic sort of dietary requirements as well. True.

263
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: True, So if I was raiding them to try and

264
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: get some differentiation here, i'd give the Propel at eight

265
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: or nine out of ten, and i'd give the black Swan,

266
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: say a seven. So it's not a bad product, but

267
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't have this sort of standout nutritional profile that

268
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the pipel does simply because it's a very much cleaner

269
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: ingredient list and suggestive of much higher quality product. It's

270
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: also seen by that nutritional profile where you're getting more protein.

271
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: Through it all. Right. Now, the last one is.

272
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: A little bit of a dark horse, the Triple S

273
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Foods Hommus. Now, this product came to my awareness when

274
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I was a judge of the Healthy Food Guide Awards

275
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: because I actually hadn't seen it before, and I believe

276
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a product that you can only find it will worth,

277
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: and it's not easy to find, but certainly it's got

278
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: some good things to talk about.

279
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: Today.

280
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Retails for three dollars per one hundred and twenty five grams,

281
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: so out of the three, it's the least expensive product.

282
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: So it's a dollar cheaper for a similar larger actual

283
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: serve than the Black Swan fifty four percent chickpea followed

284
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: by water then tahini, so it is using pure tahini

285
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: similar to the Pilpel and they've listed at eight point

286
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: five percent, which I love to see. I would love

287
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: to see that on the Propeller label, so we'd get

288
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: an idea of actually how much proportion of those ingredients

289
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: are going in, because yes, it's suggestive of a higher

290
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: quality tahini and sesamemx sea salt, citric acid, lemon juice,

291
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: herb and fruit extra and garlic, so to be honestly,

292
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: and this has got the cleanest ingredient list out of

293
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: the three of them, and it's made in Australia from

294
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: ninety percent of Australian ingredients. So if we take a

295
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: look nutritionally, we've got five hundred and fifteen killer jewels

296
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: per one hundred grams. Now, that is significantly less than

297
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: both of the ones we've just seen. If I look

298
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: at the it's almost.

299
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: Not half, well nearly it is half.

300
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: It's half as many killer jewels, which is fascinating for

301
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: a similar product. And mind you, the serving sizes, they're

302
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: fiddling a little bit, but per hundred so that's fine.

303
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Five point seven grams of protein, perserve, six point five

304
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: grams of total fat, ninety one point four saturated, so

305
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: a low saturated fat food, no added sugars, five point

306
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: one grams of dietary fiber, and four hundred and ninety

307
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: three milligrams of sodium. So this is a really interesting product,

308
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: and certainly it rated very highly with the other dietitians

309
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: when we rated these products. So for me, I can't

310
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: this doesn't have added oil to it, so it's not

311
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: like we're saying, well, Purpel is superior because it uses

312
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: extravergin olive oil. This product doesn't use any added oil.

313
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: Hence you're getting a much lower fat product. So I

314
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: would rate it as highly, if not more highly than Purpell,

315
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: and probably give it a nine nine and a half

316
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: out of ten. But I will say it really depends

317
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: on taste and flavor with these foods, because it's all

318
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: well and good to have lower calorie products, but if

319
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: they don't taste good, and I haven't actually eaten this,

320
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: so I don't know, but I know Purpel tastes amazing,

321
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: and certainly it's one of the ones on rotation in

322
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: my home, so I can't comment on this. I would

323
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: have tasted it when we did the awards, but in

324
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: terms of on a day to day basis, I'm not

325
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: overly familiar with it, so I don't know.

326
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: Have you tried it? I haven't. I haven't been able

327
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: to find it. As you said, it's hard to hire.

328
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: Available at woolwors, but I haven't seen it in my local.

329
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: All the other one I went to kind of down

330
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: the road, not down the road, but you know, good

331
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: ten to fifty minute drive away. I couldn't find it either,

332
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: so I was a bit disappointed because I'm like you,

333
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: I would even potentially put it higher than propel, but

334
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: does it taste as good? But interestingly, the fat profile

335
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: is still really good because they've got a higher amount

336
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: of tarhini in there, and even just looking at the

337
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: dietary fiber, like four point nine grams per one hundred

338
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: grams in the propell versus five point one grams, so

339
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: it's only slightly higher, but it's actually higher with a

340
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: smaller amount of chickpea, So I think it's I think

341
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: it's great. I think the ingredient list it's very clean,

342
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: it's very good quality ingredients made from ninety percent Australian ingredients.

343
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: So again, I think we can just assume that it's

344
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: really the sesame of the tarhini that's sort of shipped

345
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: in from overseas, which is fine. I think it's a

346
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: really strong product. I just haven't been able to get

347
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: my hands on it to taste it, unfortunately, but I

348
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: would definitely be recommending this and using this in meal

349
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: plants my clients. I wouldn't have a hesitation as long

350
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: as I got the feedback that it tasted good.

351
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: And for me, this is a product that I would

352
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: be more likely to encourage my clients to use as

353
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: a spread more regularly in their diet. So for example,

354
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: if they're looking for a spread, I would much rather

355
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: than use some of this than marjarine or butter on

356
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: any of their toast or salad, you know, crackers wraps.

357
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: So you know, if you've tried it, let us know.

358
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: But you know, absolutely, I'm giving it really high marks.

359
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a great product if you can find it,

360
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: and I would have no hesitation recommending this in all

361
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: the pill pel to be consumed in controlled amount, so

362
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: full disclosure. I do say to my client's no hommus

363
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: only because when it's in the fridge it's really easy

364
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: to get on dipping. I do tend to encourage it

365
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: more so to be a sport of product. You might

366
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: buy for a platter and you're entertaining and popping it

367
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: out that way, or making sure you're medasur the serves

368
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: out because keep in mind the recommended serves that these

369
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: are just a tablespoon or two. But I would be

370
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: more likely to agree to my clients enjoying the triple

371
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: less foods more frequently because it is significantly lower in

372
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: calories if you can keep those portions under control.

373
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: So we'd love to hear if you.

374
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: Have tried it, or perhaps if you've got a little

375
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: dark horse dip that you'd write to share with us.

376
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: But as I said, there are a sort of growing

377
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: range of more vegetable based dips, and hopefully dips that

378
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: have got a better profile than cream cheese and vegetable

379
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: oil as the base. And if you really want a

380
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: very quick scan of an ingredient list on a dip,

381
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: i'd be looking for ones that don't contain cream, cheese

382
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: or vegetable oil. On the base and you'll be on

383
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: the right track.

384
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: I just want to make a really quick point with

385
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: the black Swan skinny hommers, the serving size is actually

386
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: ten grams. I just picked up on that. So the

387
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 2: propel is twenty grams, the SSS food homus is twenty

388
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: five grams, and the Blackscorn skinny one is ten grams.

389
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: So yes, you will end up quite slim and losing

390
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: weight if you're eating ten grams of hommas per serving,

391
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: which let's be honest, it's like a teaspoon and a half.

392
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: Nobody's actually eating that, so they can get away with

393
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: making their nutrition panel look very good at any twenty

394
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: two calories are serving. But show me anybody that only

395
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: eats ten grams of hommus, like they don't exist their unicorns.

396
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: No, it's definitely a serving size of at least one hundred.

397
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: I say, I had to love Actually when you go

398
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: to the supermarket and you see those individual homus snack tubs,

399
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: we say those like you get like three crackers in

400
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: this massive bowl of it, and it's like three or

401
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: four hundred calories in that little snack, And I'm thinking.

402
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely not ten can be a great addition to.

403
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: A platter, but can certainly derail your diet if you're

404
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: not keeping a close eye on how you're enjoying it.

405
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: All Rightlyn Well, that brings us to the end of
