1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Put your hands up if you are a fan of homics.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that if we were

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: all voting one of our favorite foods to sit down

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: with a glass of wine, leanne, it would be perhaps

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: a dip. And I know that homas is one of

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: the most popular and a lot of people think that

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good weightless food. So today we thought

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: it was time to take a closer look at this

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: platter staple and figure out which one takes home the

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: title of best Homas that we can find at the supermarket. Hi,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and I'm lean Wood, and as tow

12
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: ofrustrates leading dieticians, we bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Review,

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: a weekly chat on new products and old favorites that

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: you can find at the supermarket. Now, I think even

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: to kick it off of my even pronouncing it correctly,

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: lean and I say homics, That's how I say.

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: It is that right? Yeah, it's holmost. It's definitely homos.

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: But I was going to say, if I'm sitting down

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: to a glass of wine, my favorite food wouldn't be homos.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: It'd definitely be some cheese.

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: We just covered cheese for that reason.

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: I might add some homice who my cheese platter, but

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't start with them. I must have been well.

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: I think we decided to talk about this because recently

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: I appeared on the forty Podcasts with the Girls, and

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to that, it's a fantastic podcast

27
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: in general, and a great episode on perimenopause and diet changes.

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

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: finding out that homis is perhaps not I don't want

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: to say not as healthy, but a lot highering calories

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

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: packet of rice crackers and a tub of homis could

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: be one of the reasons you're not reaching your weight

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: loss goals. So we thought, yes, absolutely, we know just

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: from our base of listeners that there'll be a lot

36
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: of people who are particularly interested in homos and I

37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: do enjoy it myself. My dad really likes it, and

38
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: so if he's coming over, I will go to the

39
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: supermarket and get our favorite brand, which I won't declare

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: on here because I don't want to skew anyone's view

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: before we review all the products, but certainly I know

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: dip in general is a huge growth area in the supermarket.

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: Like I think back to when I grew up, the

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: dip wasn't dip. There was the Philly cream cheese and

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: that was it. Now we have a huge number of

46
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: dips in supermarket and coming into summer in particular where

47
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: we are entertaining barbecues platters. I like to use a

48
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: colorful dip like a beetroot homics on my platters because

49
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: I love the purple color. But I know that a

50
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners will be really interested in this,

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: and I love we've had a mix. I think you've

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: chosen some of them in our fantastic student Amy has

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: also helped us put these together. But I would have

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: absolutely picked very similar products in supermarkets. So I'm sure

55
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: there'll be brands and everyone is very familiar with So

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the first one that we're going to talk about today

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: is the pil Pearl gluten free homice. Now, this is

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: certainly a very strong brand in supermarkets. They've got a

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: whole range. There's a beechtroot dip, there's a capsicuan one.

60
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: The one we've chosen is the larger size. Today it's

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: available at both Wulwists and Coals. It retails for about

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: six fifty. It's a reasonably large tub. The tub, the

63
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: smaller one, which must be about one fifty two hundred,

64
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: is not inexpensive either. It comes pretty close to five dollars. Now,

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: the first thing I will say about homice is that,

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: and we can discuss if we compare it. I think

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: we can pare one hundred grams. What do you think?

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

69
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because on this label, for example, a serving is

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: described as twenty grams, which is a small tablespoon. And

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone leanne who when they're serving dip

72
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: or homas would stick to a tablespoon. But that's a

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: whole other discussion. So we'll take a look at the

74
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: ingredients first. So first of all, we've got cooked chickpeas,

75
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: which is fifty three percent, so more than half the

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: product is strong whole food legumes. Tahini is the next

77
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: ingredient which assests me in salt, followed by water, extra

78
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: virgin olive oil, very important part of what we're going

79
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: to talk about today, and acidity regulator, and that's just

80
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: to keep the flavors mixed and not too glug together.

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: For one of a better word, salt and preservative potassium salt,

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: so pretty what I would describe is a pretty clean

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: ingredient list. Now people may hear that and say, oh,

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: it's got a preservative. Well, most packaged food will have

85
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: some level of preservative or it will turn particularly cold

86
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: food like this that the standout straightaway is a really

87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: high percentage of cooked chickpeas fifty three percent, which is

88
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: really high, and the gold standard extra virgin olive oil.

89
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: Because when I've reviewed dips in the past, many are

90
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: based or average land. They're based on cream, cheese, or

91
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: vegetable oil. They're often the first or second ingredients across

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: the board, which means you have processed foods which are

93
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: very high and saturated fat or refined vegetable oils. This

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: is one of the only brands, if the only one

95
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: in supermarket that you can find with extra virgin olive oil,

96
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: which also will explain part of why it's more expensive

97
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: than the others. You're basically paying for a better quality

98
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: product because you're not only getting a really high percentage

99
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: of chickpeas, but you're also getting extra virgin olive oil,

100
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: which is much better nutrition there for us. So per

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: one hundred grams and we will compare that, so we

102
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: can compare across the three that we've chosen today. So

103
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: keep in mind as well that this is only five tablespoons.

104
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Now I want you to think back to the last

105
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: time you've sat down with a container of homus. Keep

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: in mind this container, for example, there's three hundred and

107
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: fifty grams, would be close to twenty tablespoons. Now I

108
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: guarantee you would have eaten at least half, if not

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: the whole tub. So it's actually incredibly easy to eat

110
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: one hundred grams of homice. And that's one of the

111
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: concerns or issues I do have with it. Where my

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: clients include it, they're not including a tablespoon, they're including

113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: half or a whole tub, and that's perhaps where their

114
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: diets off track. So just be very very mindful of

115
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: serv So we'll look at the one hundred grams. So

116
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: it's close to three hundred calories in just less than

117
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: only a third of that tub, So not insignificant. It's

118
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: got nine point seven grams of protein. Now it's safe

119
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: to say, Leam, that it's a common belief with clients

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: that homas is a protein. And I point out to

121
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: my clients that it's more of a fat so if

122
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: you eat a third of the tub, you get ten

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: grams of protein, but that comes with a huge amount

124
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: of fat or in this instance, close to twenty grams

125
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: at nineteen point seven, so at least a third of

126
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: your daily recommended intake of fat, admittedly low and saturated

127
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: fat thanks to the tahmi which is coming from sesame

128
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: and the extravergent olive oil, which is a major bonus

129
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: when comparing dips to the average kind of avocado, deer

130
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: or one's based on as I said, cream, cheese, or

131
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: vegetable oil. In the case of Pesto dips, eight point

132
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: six grams of carbohydrate, minimal sugars, it doesn't have added

133
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: sugar this brand four point nine grams of dietary fiber,

134
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: so a little bit in there, but not really if

135
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: you're having a couple of tablespoons and five hundred and

136
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: four milligrams of sodium, not really insignificant, particularly if you

137
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: polish off the whole tub. But it is one of

138
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: those kind of seasoned foods out there, so you will

139
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: be getting some sodium, and it's made in Australia, which

140
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: is really important. From at least seventy percent of Australian ingredients,

141
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: so I'm pastient to say that things like the sessame

142
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: are probably coming from overseas just because of supply chain

143
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: issues in here in Australia. But in the whole it's

144
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: a very strong brand. Nutrition Ly, it's one that I

145
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: don't have any qualms recommending, But when I do give

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: recommendations on Homus, we do have a very strong discussion

147
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: about the serving size because I, as I said, lea recoon,

148
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: my clients are having at least half that pot, if

149
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: not the whole thing, when they are sitting down to

150
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: a couple of glasses of shardi on a Friday night.

151
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: I love it. I recommend it. It's a great brand.

152
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: Definitely agree with everything that you mentioned. But I think,

153
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: as you keep saying, it's quite bunny because not only

154
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: will our clients have homers, they'll actually perceive that as

155
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: being a super healthy kind of snack. So I have

156
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: a lot of clients who get home after work, they're

157
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: starting to prepare dinner, They're making the kids dinner instead

158
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: of snacking up the kids plates, which were like, hey,

159
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 2: let's not really do that. It doesn't really support weight loss.

160
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: They'll make themselves a healthy snack, get out the rice crackers,

161
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: get out the Homas, overeat on that, and then go

162
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: and have a big dinner and thinking that they've made

163
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: a really healthy snack choice, and always give themselves permission

164
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: to have a little something more after dinner because they've

165
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: made a really healthy choice in terms of a dip.

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: So nothing wrong with Homas. But as always, portion sizes

167
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: are absolutely key. But I do love this brand. It

168
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: tastes great. It's got a really nice sort of smooth texture,

169
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: and it's not too oily. Sometimes the Homases, particularly with

170
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: the added vegetable earls, can be a little bit sort

171
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: of oily and they don't make me feel great afterwards.

172
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: But this is a really good quality brand, And like you,

173
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: I love they have a garlic dip at a Beetroop

174
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: dip as well, which is just delicious.

175
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, just as an offside, they're actually in my face

176
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: in that brand. I love the Beechriot dip and the cap'scum.

177
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: They're really quite low calorie if you can track them down.

178
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: All right now, this next one's really interestingly in and

179
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to need your help with your nutritional science

180
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: to explain it to me because I'm thinking looking at it,

181
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: not quite sure what's going on. So this is another

182
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: very well known brand in supermarkets, the Black Swan's Skinny

183
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Hommice Dip, so it's straight away marketing on that idea

184
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: of being a lower fat product. It retails two hundred

185
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: grams for four dollars, so it is less expensive slightly

186
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: than the Pilpel brand per hundred grams. It does have

187
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: significantly fewer calories. Keep in mind the Propel was two

188
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: fifty eight, so this is just shy. This is just

189
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: on two hundred, so about fifty calories per hundred less,

190
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: less protein five point five grams, so almost half as

191
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: much fat, not dissimilar at fifteen grams, and very low

192
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: saturated fat. And I'm assuming that will be a mix

193
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: because it's got less sesame probably and also veg seable

194
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: oil through it. Carbohydrate eleven sugars two point seven grams,

195
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: three hundred milligrams of sodium, no detectable gluten. Now this

196
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: label is I think a little bit confusing when we're

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: looking at the nutritionals, which is why I'm interested in

198
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: what you're going to say about it, because this has

199
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: actually got significantly more chickpeas than the pilpel, so the

200
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Purpel's got fifty three percent, followed by tahini as their ingredient.

201
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: This one chickpease seventy seven percent, so twenty percent more

202
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: not insignificant. Next ingredient vegetable oil, which I don't it's

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: probably palm, but the saturated fats low, so maybe it's not.

204
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: Might be what canola?

205
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

206
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, say they'd list that it's not palm, I

207
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: would say with a low saturated fat, so I don't

208
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: know why they haven't listed it as canola. We can

209
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: assume sesame seed paste is five percent a garlic puree,

210
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: so they're using that to give it the flava as opposed.

211
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: We don't have a percentage on the sesame and tahini

212
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: in the pill pel, which is unfortunate. Garlic puree, vinegar

213
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: lemon juice acidity regulated similar to keep that stable, salt thick.

214
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of sugar, very small amount. Spices

215
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: and preservatives now made in Australia from eighty five percent

216
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Austraight ingredients. So there's a few pros with this product.

217
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: Do you know it's cheaper, It is got a high

218
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: proportion of Australian ingredients got a high proportion of chickpeas.

219
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: But why than leanne, tell me, why is the protein

220
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: so much higher in the pill pearl with less chickpea

221
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: through it?

222
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: From necessame? Surely no, the tarhini, Yeah, tan is quite

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: higher protein because it's a compated.

224
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: So they're using a better quality tahini mix in the

225
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: pill pel which is also significantly bumping up the protein.

226
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: Well, they're using a tarhini and they're using it the

227
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: sesame seed paste in the black sowng So definitely the

228
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: quality of the ingredients is much better in the propel.

229
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, you really do need to have

230
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: your nutritional hat on. So lucky the nutrition couches here

231
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to differentiate this because it's not easy to see because

232
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: I think if you were just looking at that, you

233
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: would think, oh, well, this is actually better or at

234
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: least comparable, given the higher proportion of chickpeas.

235
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: I think the ingredients aren't as good like it is.

236
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 2: There is added sugar, there's a little bit. Oh no,

237
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: it's actually less sodium. The vegetable oil.

238
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: If we were summarizing it, the problem is the vegetable

239
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: oil because we're adding in a refined oil.

240
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: And also what is sesame seed paste? Yesme, seed paste?

241
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: Like what goes into that? To me? While it is

242
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: just pure sesame suits like, yeah, the quality of it,

243
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: it's not tahani like we know taihani is basically just

244
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: ground up sesame seeds with a bit of water. What

245
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: goes into a sesame seed paste? Is there more vegetable

246
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: oils in that? I just think the quality of the

247
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: ingredients is better in the propel one. And yes, it

248
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: is slightly lower calories. So from a fat loss perspective,

249
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: people might go, oh, the skinny homus is better, but

250
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: let's be honest, per serving, it's not. It's you know,

251
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: it's twenty thirty calories per serving. If you're sticking to

252
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: a small amount, it's it's neither here nor there when

253
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: you're having you know, half the tub. Okay, yes, it's

254
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: two hundred calories versus two fifty, So maybe that does

255
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: make a difference. But to me, I think the quality

256
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: of the ingredients, I personally would probably go with a

257
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: propel and recommend that morph of my clients. It's also

258
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: dairy free and gluten free as well, so it takes

259
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: a lot of our boxes for our clients that need,

260
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: you know, civic sort of dietary requirements as well. True.

261
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: True, So if I was raiding them to try and

262
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: get some differentiation here, i'd give the Propel at eight

263
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: or nine out of ten, and i'd give the black Swan,

264
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: say a seven. So it's not a bad product, but

265
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the sort of standout nutritional profile that

266
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: the pipel does, simply because it's a very much cleaner

267
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: ingredient list and suggestive of much higher quality products also

268
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: seen by that nutritional profile where you're getting more protein

269
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: through it all.

270
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: Right.

271
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: Now, the last one is a little bit of a

272
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: dark horse, the Triple S Foods Hommus. Now, this product

273
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: came to my awareness when I was a judge at

274
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: the Healthy Food Guide Awards, because I actually hadn't seen

275
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: it before, and I believe it's a product that you

276
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: can only find it will worth, and it's not easy

277
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: to find, but certainly it's got some good things to

278
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: talk about. Today. Retails for three dollars per one hundred

279
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: and twenty five grams, so out of the three, it's

280
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: the least expensive product, so it's a dollar cheaper for

281
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: a similar larger actual serve than the Black Swan fifty

282
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: four percent chickpea fathered by water, then tahini, so it

283
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: is using pure tahini similar to the Pilpel and they've

284
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: listed at eight point five percent, which I love to see.

285
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: I would love to see that on the Propeller label,

286
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: so we'd get an idea of actually how much proportion

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: of those ingredients are going in, because yes, it's suggestive

288
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: of a higher quality tahini and sesamimix, sea salt, citric acid,

289
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: lemon juice, herb and fruit extrat and garlic, so to

290
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: be honestly, and this has got the cleanest ingredient list

291
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: out of the three of them, and it's made in

292
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: Australia from ninety percent of Australian ingredients. So if we

293
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: take a look nutritionally, we've got five hundred and fifteen

294
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: killer jewels per one hundred grams. Now, that is significantly

295
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: less than both of the ones we've just seen. If

296
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: I look at the it's almost not half, well nearly.

297
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: It is half.

298
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: It's half as many killer jewels, which is fascinating for

299
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: a similar product. And mind you, the serving sizes they're

300
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: fiddling a little bit, but per hundred, so that's fine.

301
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Five point seven grams of protein, perserve, six point five

302
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: grams of total fat, ninety one point four saturated, so

303
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: a low saturated fat food, no added sugars, five point

304
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: one grams of dietary fiber, and four hundred and ninety

305
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: three milligrams of sodium. So this is a really interesting product,

306
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: and certainly it rated very highly with the other dietitians

307
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: when we rated these products. So for me, I can't

308
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: this doesn't have added oil to it, So it's not

309
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: like we're saying, well, Purpel is superior because it uses

310
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: extravergin olive oil. This product doesn't use any added oil.

311
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: Hence you're getting a much lower fat product. So I

312
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: would rate it as highly, if not more highly than Purpell,

313
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: and probably give it a nine nine and a half

314
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: out of ten. But I will say it really depends

315
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: on taste and flavor with these foods, because it's all

316
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: well and good to have lower calorie products, but if

317
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: they don't taste good, and I haven't actually eaten this,

318
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I know Purperl tastes amazing, and

319
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: certainly it's one of the ones on rotation in my

320
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: home so I can't comment on this. I would have

321
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: tasted it when we did the awards, but in terms

322
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: of on a day to day basis, I'm not overly

323
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: familiar with it, so I don't know.

324
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: Have you tried it? I haven't. I haven't been able

325
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: to find it. As you said, it's hard to h

326
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: available at wolways, but I haven't seen it in my

327
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: local all. The other one I went to kind of

328
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: down the road, not down the road, but you know,

329
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: good ten to fifty minute drive away, I couldn't find

330
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: it either, so I was a bit disappointed because I'm

331
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: like you, I would even potentially put it higher than propel,

332
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: but does it taste as good? But interestingly, the fat

333
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: profile is still really good because they've got a higher

334
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: amount of tarhini in there, and even just looking at

335
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: the dietary fiber, like four point nine grams per one

336
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: hundred grams in the propell versus five point one grams,

337
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: so it's only slightly higher, but it's actually higher with

338
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: a smaller amount of chickpea. So I think it's I

339
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: think it's great. I think the ingredient list it's very clean,

340
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: it's very good quality ingredients made from ninety percent Australian ingredients.

341
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: So again, I think we can just assume that it's

342
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: really the sesame or the tarhini that's sort of shipped

343
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: in from overseas, which is fine. I think it's a

344
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: really strong product. I just haven't been able to get

345
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: my hands on it to taste it, unfortunately, But I

346
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: would definitely be recommending this and using this in meal

347
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: plants my clients. I wouldn't have a hesitation as long

348
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: as I got the feedback that it tasted good.

349
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: And for me, this is a product that I would

350
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: be more likely to encourage my clients to use as

351
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a spread more regularly in their diet. So for example,

352
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: if they're looking for a spread, I would much rather

353
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: than use some of this than marjarine or butter on

354
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: any of their toast or salad, you know, crackers wraps.

355
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: So you know, if you've tried it, let us know.

356
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: But you know, absolutely I'm giving it really high marks.

357
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a great product if you can find it,

358
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: and I would have no hesitation recommending this in all

359
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: the pill pel to be consumed in controlled amount, So

360
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: full disclosure, I do say to my client's no hommus

361
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: only because when it's in the fridge it's really easy

362
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: to get on dipping. I do tend to encourage it

363
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: more so to be a sport of product you might

364
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: buy for a platter when you're entertaining and popping it

365
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: out that way, or making sure you're measure the serves

366
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: out because keep in mind the recommended serves that these

367
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: are just a tablespoon or two. But I would be

368
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: more likely to agree to my clients enjoying the triple

369
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: as foods more frequently because it is significantly lowering calories

370
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: if you can keep those portions under control. So we'd

371
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: love to hear if you have tried it, or perhaps

372
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: if you've got a little dark horse dip that you'd

373
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: like to share with us better. As I said, there

374
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: are a sort of growing range of more vegetable based dips,

375
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: and hopefully dips that have got a better profile than

376
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: cream cheese and vegetable oil as the base. And if

377
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: you really want a very quick scan of an ingredient

378
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: list on a dip, i'd be looking for ones that

379
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: don't contain cream, cheese or vegetable oil on the base,

380
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: and you'll be on the right track.

381
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: Just want to make a really quick point. With the

382
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 2: black Swan skinny hommers, the serving size is actually ten grams.

383
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: I just picked up on that. So the propel is

384
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: twenty grams, the SSS food hommus is twenty five grams,

385
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: and the black scorn skinny one is ten grams. So yes,

386
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: you will end up quite slim and losing weight if

387
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: you're eating ten grams of hommas per serving, which let's

388
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: be honest, it's like a teaspoon and a half, but

389
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: he's actually eating that, so they can get away with

390
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: making the nutrition pantl look very good at any twenty

391
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: two calories are serving. But show me anybody that only

392
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: eats ten grams of hommus, like they don't exist their unicorns.

393
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: No, it's definitely a serving size of at least one hundred.

394
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: I say, I had to love actually when you go

395
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: to the supermarket and you see those individual homics snack tubs,

396
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: we say those like you get like three crackers in

397
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: this massive bowl of it, and it's like three or

398
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: four hundred calories in that little snack, And I'm thinking.

399
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely not ten can be a great addition.

400
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: To a platter that can certainly derail your diet if

401
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: you're not keeping a close eye on how you're enjoying it.

402
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: All right, man, Well, that brings us to the end
