WEBVTT - TNC Review: Hommus 0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.800 Put your hands up if you are a fan of homics. 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:06.600 I think it's safe to say that if we were 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.239 all voting one of our favorite foods to sit down 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.880 with a glass of wine, leanne, it would be perhaps 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.720 a dip. And I know that homas is one of 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.680 the most popular and a lot of people think that 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.960 it's a pretty good weightless food. So today we thought 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.000 it was time to take a closer look at this 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.400 platter staple and figure out which one takes home the 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.640 title of best homics that we can find at the supermarket. 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.080 Hi, I'm Susie Burrow and I'm Lean Wood. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.600 And as to irustrate as leading dieticians, we bring you 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.519 the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat on new 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:42.440 products and old favorites that you can find at the supermarket. Now, 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.480 I think even to kick it off, and my even 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.800 pronouncing it correctly, lean and I say homos. 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.800 That's how I say it? Is that right, Yeah, it's holmost. 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.400 It's definitely homos. But I was going to say, if 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.160 I'm sitting down to a glass of wine, my favorite 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.480 food wouldn't be homos. It'd definitely be some cheese. We 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.560 just covered cheese for that reason. I might add some 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.360 homice who my cheese platter, but I wouldn't start with them. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:03.800 I must. Well. 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.959 I think we decided to talk about this because recently 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.680 I appeared on the forty Podcasts with the Girls, and 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.000 if you haven't listened to that, it's a fantastic podcast 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.840 in general, and a great episode on perimenopause and diet changes. 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.320 And one of the big talking points was the girls 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.399 finding out that homis is perhaps not I don't want 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.800 to say not as healthy, but a lot highing calories 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.800 than perhaps they might have thought, and polishing off a 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.920 packet of rice crackers and a tub of homis could 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.920 be one of the reasons you're not reaching your weight 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.160 loss goals. So we thought, yes, absolutely, we know just 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.399 from our base of listeners that there'll be a lot 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.040 of people who are particularly interested in homos and I 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:43.640 do enjoy it myself. My dad really likes it, and 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.399 so if he's coming over, I will go to the 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.000 supermarket and get our favorite brand, which I won't declare 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.560 on here because I don't want to skew anyone's view 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.720 before we review all the products, but certainly I know 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.760 dip in general is a huge growth area in the supermarket. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.040 Like I think back to when I grew up, the 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.600 dip wasn't dip. There was the Philly cream cheese and. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:01.000 That was it. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.080 Now we have a huge number of dips in supermarket 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.600 and coming into summer in particular when we are entertaining 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.360 barbecues platters, I like to use a colorful dip like 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.440 a beetroot homice on my platters because I love the 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.799 purple color. But I know that a lot of our 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.040 listeners will be really interested in this, and I love 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:19.959 we've had a mix. I think you've chosen some of 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.280 them in our fantastic student Amy has also helped us 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.799 put these together. But I would have absolutely picked very 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.160 similar products in supermarkets. So I'm sure there'll be brands 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.200 that everyone is very familiar with. So the first one 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.360 that we're going to talk about today is the pil 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.600 Pearl gluten free homice. Now, this is certainly a very 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.399 strong brand in supermarkets. They've got a whole range. There's 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.040 a beetroot dip, there's a capsicum one. The one we've 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.399 chosen is the larger size. Today it's available at both 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.120 Wulwiths and Coals. It retails for about six fifty it's 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.200 a reasonably large tub. The tub, the smaller one, which 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.760 must be about one fifty two hundred, is not inexpensive either. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.720 It comes pretty close to five dollars. Now, the first 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.000 thing I will say about homice is that, and we 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.200 can discuss if we compare it. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.040 I think we compare one hundred grams. What do you think? 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:05.280 Yeah? 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.840 Agree, yeah, Because on. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.079 This label, for example, a serving is described as twenty grams, 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:16.360 which is a small tablespoon. And I don't know anyone 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.440 leanne who when they're serving dip or homas would stick 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.440 to a tablespoon. But that's a whole other discussion. So 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.440 we'll take a look at the ingredients first. So first 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.720 of all, we've got cooked chickpeas, which is fifty three percent, 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.280 so more than half the product is strong whole food legumes. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.000 Tahini is the next ingredient, which assests me in salt, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.880 followed by water, extra virgin olive oil, very important part 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.760 of what we're going to talk about today, and a 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.520 citity regulator, and that's just to keep the flavors mixed 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.280 and not too glug together for one of a better word, 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.040 salt and preservative, potassium salt, so pretty what I would 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.000 describe is a pretty clean ingredient list. Now people may 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.960 hear that and say, oh, it's got a preservative. Well, 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.760 most packaged food will have some level of preservative or 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.800 it will turn particularly cold food like this that the 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.760 standout straight away is a really high percentage of cooked 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.040 chickpeas fifty three percent, which is really high, and the 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.640 gold standard extra virgin olive oil. Because i've reviewed dips 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.520 in the past, many are based or average land. They're 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.520 based on cream, cheese, or vegetable oil. They're often the 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.159 first or second ingredients across the board, which means you 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.159 have processed foods which are very high and saturated fat 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.719 or refined vegetable oils. This is one of the only brands, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.080 if the only one in supermarket that you can find 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.240 with extra virgin olive oil, which also will explain part 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.560 of why it's more expensive than the others. You're basically 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.839 paying for a better quality product because you're not only 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.480 getting a really high percentage of chickpeas, but you're also 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.200 getting extra virgin olive oil, which is much better nutrition 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.640 there for us. So per one hundred grams, and we 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.800 will compare that so we can compare across the three 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.760 that we've chosen today. So keep in mind as well 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.280 that this is only five tablespoons. Now I want you 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.599 to think back to the last time you've sat down 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.560 with a container of homus. Keep in mind this container, 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.280 for example, there's three hundred and fifty grams. That would 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.360 be close to twenty tablespoons. Now I guarantee you would 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.080 have eaten at least half, if not the whole tub. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.919 So it's actually incredibly easy to eat one hundred grams 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.960 of homice. And that's one of the concerns or issues 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.920 I do have with it. Where my clients include it, 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.560 they're not including a tablespoon, they're including half or a 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.880 whole tub, and that's perhaps where their diets off track. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.599 So just be very very mindful of serves. So we'll 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.560 look at the one hundred grams. So it's close to 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.280 three hundred calories in just less than only a third 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.080 of that tub, so not insignificant. It's got nine point 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.880 seven grams of protein. Now it's safe to say, Leam 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.560 that it's a common belief with clients that homas is 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.080 a protein. And I point out to my clients that 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.880 it's more of a fat so if you eat a 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.760 third of the tub, you get ten grams of protein, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.400 but that comes with a huge amount of fat or 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.159 in this instance, close to twenty grams at nineteen point seven, 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.320 so at least a third of your daily recommended intake 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.839 of fat, admittedly low and saturated fat thanks to the 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.560 tahmi which is coming from sesame and the extravergent olive oil, 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.839 which is a major bonus when comparing dips to the 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.960 average kind of avocado, deer or one's based on as 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.839 I said, cream, cheese, or vegetable oil. In the case 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:08.719 of Pesto dips, eight point six grams of carbohydrate, minimal sugars, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.200 it doesn't have added sugar this brand four point nine 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.080 grams of dietary fiber, so a little bit in there, 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.320 but not really if you're having a couple of tablespoons 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.839 and five hundred and four milligrams of sodium, not really insignificant, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.280 particularly if you polish off the whole tub. But it 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.960 is one of those kind of seasoned foods out there, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.200 so you will be getting some sodium, and it's made 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.599 in Australia, which is really important. From at least seventy 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.120 percent of Australian ingredients, So I'm pastent to say that 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.240 things like the sess Tome are probably coming from overseas 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.560 just because of supply chain issues in here in Australia. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.440 But in the whole, it's a very strong brand nutrition Lely. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.039 It's one that I don't have any qualms recommending, but 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.200 when I do give recommendations on Homus, we do have 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.839 a very strong discussion about the serving size because I, 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.520 as I said Lee, I recon my clients are having 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.320 at least half that pot, if not the whole thing, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.920 when they are sitting. 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.159 Down to a couple of glasses of shardi on a 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.560 Friday night. I love it. I recommend it. It's a 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.839 great brand. Definitely agree with everything that you mentioned. But 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.400 I think, as you keep saying, it's quite bunny because 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.680 not only will our clients have homers, they'll actually perceive 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.280 that as being a super healthy kind of snack. So 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.400 I have a lot of clients who get home after work, 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.800 they're starting to prepare dinner, They're making the kids dinner 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.080 instead of snacking up the kid's plates, which were like, hey, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.600 let's not really do that. It doesn't really support weight loss. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.080 They'll make themselves a healthy snack, get out the rice crackers, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.960 get out the homers, overeat on that, and then go 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.080 and have a big dinner and thinking that they've made 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.640 a really healthy snack choice, and always give themselves permission 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.160 to have a little something more after dinner because they've 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.480 made a really healthy choice in terms of a dip. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:40.360 So nothing wrong with Homas, but as always, portion sizes 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.520 are absolutely key. But I do love this brand. It 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.240 tastes great. It's got a really nice sort of smooth texture, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.240 and it's not too oily. Sometimes the Homases, particularly with 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.240 the added vegetable earls, can be a little bit sort 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.200 of oily and they don't make me feel great afterwards. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.640 But this is a really good quality brand, And like you, 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.560 I love they have a garlic dip at a Beetrip 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.200 dip as well, which is just delicious. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.360 Yeah, just as an offside, they're actually my face in 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.920 that brand. I love the beech Riot dip and the cap'scum. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.360 They're really quite low calorie if you can track them down. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.560 All right now, this mixed one's really interestingly in and 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.120 I'm going to need your help with your nutritional science 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.160 to explain it to me, because I'm thinking looking at it, 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.760 not quite sure what's going on. So this is another 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.000 very well known brand in supermarkets, the Black Swan's Skinny 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.720 Hommice Dip, so it's straight away marketing on that idea 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.840 of being a lower fat product. It retails two hundred 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.720 grams for four dollars, so it is less expensive slightly 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.800 than the Pilpel brand per hundred grams. It does have 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.960 significantly fewer calories. Keep in mind the Propel was two 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.600 fifty eight, so this is just shy. This is just 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.040 on two hundred, so about fifty calories per hundred less, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.439 less protein five point five grams, so almost half as 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.880 much fat, not dissimilar at fifteen grams, and very low 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.440 saturated fat. And I'm assuming that will be a mix 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.320 because it's got less sesame probably and also veg setable 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:04.959 oil through it. Carbohydrate eleven sugars two point seven grams, 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.679 three hundred milligrams of sodium, no detectable gluten. Now this 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.920 label is I think a little bit confusing when we're 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.680 looking at the nutritionals, which is why I'm interested in 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.640 what you're going to say about it, because this has 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.040 actually got significantly more chickpeas than the pilpel, So the 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.520 purpel's got fifty three percent, followed by tahini as their ingredient. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.960 This one chickpease seventy seven percent, so twenty percent more 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.240 not insignificant. Next ingredient vegetable oil, which I don't it's 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.960 probably palm, but the saturated fats loow, so maybe it's not. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.480 Might be what canola? Yeah, probably yeah, say they'd list 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.400 that it's not palm, I would say with a low 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.560 saturated fat, so I don't know why they haven't listed 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.880 it as canola. We can assume sesame seed paste is 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.439 five percent a garlic puree, so they're using that to 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.920 give it the flav as opposed. We don't have a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.080 percentage on the sesame and tahini in the pillpel, which 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.679 is unfortunate. Garlic puree, vinegar, lemon juice, acidity regulators similar 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.439 to keep that stable, salt, thickness, a little bit of sugar, 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:07.880 very small amount spices and preservatives now made in Australia 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.520 from eighty five percent Austraight ingredients. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.480 So there's a few pros with this product. Do you 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:12.160 know it's cheaper? 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.480 It is got a high proportion of Australian ingredients, got 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.480 a higher proportion of chickpeas. But why then, leanne tell me, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.280 why is the protein so much higher in the pill 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.080 pearl with less chickpea through it from the sessame? 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.079 Surely no, the tarhini, Yeah, titan is quite high protein 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.320 because it's a compated So they're using a better quality 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.719 tahini mix in the pill pel which is also significantly 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.160 bumping up the protein. Well, they're using a tarhani and 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.320 they're using it the sesame seed paste in the black swam, 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.280 So definitely the quality of the ingredients is much better 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:42.880 in the propel. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.760 Yeah, but you know, you really do need to have 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.240 your nutritional hat on. So lucky the nutrition couches here 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.920 to differentiate this because it's not easy to see, because 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.559 I think if you were just looking at that, you 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.000 would think, oh, well, this is actually better or at 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.600 least comparable, given the higher proportion of chickpeas. 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.400 I think the ingredients aren't as good like it is. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.760 There is added sugar, there's a little bit. Oh no, 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.000 it's actually less sodium the vegetab oil. 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.400 If we were summarizing it, the problem is the vegetable 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.720 oil because we're adding in a refined oil. 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.960 And also, what is sesame seed paste? Yesme, seed paste? 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:12.840 Like what goes into that? 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:13.120 To me? 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.480 While it is just pure sesame suits like, yeah, the 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.560 quality of it, it's not tahani like we know tahan 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.720 is basically just ground up sesame seeds with a bit 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.400 of water. What goes into a sesame seed paste? Is 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.600 there more vegetable oils in that? I just think the 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.160 quality of the ingredients is better in the propel one. 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.920 And yes, it is slightly lower calories. So from a 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.480 fat loss perspective, people might go, oh, the skinny homue 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.240 is better, but let's be honest, per serving, it's not. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.440 It's you know, it's twenty thirty calories per serving. If 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.000 you're sticking to a small amount, it's it's neither here 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.600 nor there when you're having you know, half the tub. Okay, yes, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.559 it's it's two hundred calories versus two fifty. So maybe 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.360 that does make a difference. But to me, I think 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.920 the quality of the ingredients, I personally would probably go 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.320 with a propel and recommend that more for my clients. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.360 It's also dairy free and gluten free as well, so 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.000 it takes a lot of our boxes for our clients 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.800 that need, you know, civic sort of dietary requirements as well. True. 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.680 True, So if I was raiding them to try and 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:08.160 get some differentiation here, i'd give the Propel at eight 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.240 or nine out of ten, and i'd give the black Swan, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.760 say a seven. So it's not a bad product, but 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.360 it doesn't have this sort of standout nutritional profile that 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.400 the pipel does simply because it's a very much cleaner 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.760 ingredient list and suggestive of much higher quality product. It's 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.120 also seen by that nutritional profile where you're getting more protein. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.520 Through it all. Right. Now, the last one is. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.160 A little bit of a dark horse, the Triple S 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.600 Foods Hommus. Now, this product came to my awareness when 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.640 I was a judge of the Healthy Food Guide Awards 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.800 because I actually hadn't seen it before, and I believe 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.120 it's a product that you can only find it will worth, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.280 and it's not easy to find, but certainly it's got 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:50.400 some good things to talk about. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:50.760 Today. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.720 Retails for three dollars per one hundred and twenty five grams, 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.640 so out of the three, it's the least expensive product. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.720 So it's a dollar cheaper for a similar larger actual 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:05.040 serve than the Black Swan fifty four percent chickpea followed 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:08.600 by water then tahini, so it is using pure tahini 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.520 similar to the Pilpel and they've listed at eight point 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.760 five percent, which I love to see. I would love 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.760 to see that on the Propeller label, so we'd get 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.120 an idea of actually how much proportion of those ingredients 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.079 are going in, because yes, it's suggestive of a higher 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.680 quality tahini and sesamemx sea salt, citric acid, lemon juice, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.120 herb and fruit extra and garlic, so to be honestly, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.080 and this has got the cleanest ingredient list out of 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.840 the three of them, and it's made in Australia from 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.640 ninety percent of Australian ingredients. So if we take a 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.720 look nutritionally, we've got five hundred and fifteen killer jewels 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.439 per one hundred grams. Now, that is significantly less than 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.400 both of the ones we've just seen. If I look 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.439 at the it's almost. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.839 Not half, well nearly it is half. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.240 It's half as many killer jewels, which is fascinating for 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.400 a similar product. And mind you, the serving sizes, they're 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960 fiddling a little bit, but per hundred so that's fine. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.320 Five point seven grams of protein, perserve, six point five 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.560 grams of total fat, ninety one point four saturated, so 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.160 a low saturated fat food, no added sugars, five point 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.200 one grams of dietary fiber, and four hundred and ninety 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.760 three milligrams of sodium. So this is a really interesting product, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.680 and certainly it rated very highly with the other dietitians 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:29.040 when we rated these products. So for me, I can't 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.880 this doesn't have added oil to it, so it's not 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.480 like we're saying, well, Purpel is superior because it uses 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.040 extravergin olive oil. This product doesn't use any added oil. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.920 Hence you're getting a much lower fat product. So I 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.200 would rate it as highly, if not more highly than Purpell, 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.280 and probably give it a nine nine and a half 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.840 out of ten. But I will say it really depends 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.600 on taste and flavor with these foods, because it's all 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.000 well and good to have lower calorie products, but if 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.680 they don't taste good, and I haven't actually eaten this, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.520 so I don't know, but I know Purpel tastes amazing, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.800 and certainly it's one of the ones on rotation in 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.040 my home, so I can't comment on this. I would 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.000 have tasted it when we did the awards, but in 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.640 terms of on a day to day basis, I'm not 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.800 overly familiar with it, so I don't know. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.360 Have you tried it? I haven't. I haven't been able 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.160 to find it. As you said, it's hard to hire. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.480 Available at woolwors, but I haven't seen it in my local. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.480 All the other one I went to kind of down 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.280 the road, not down the road, but you know, good 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.200 ten to fifty minute drive away. I couldn't find it either, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:26.920 so I was a bit disappointed because I'm like you, 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.000 I would even potentially put it higher than propel, but 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.560 does it taste as good? But interestingly, the fat profile 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.840 is still really good because they've got a higher amount 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.120 of tarhini in there, and even just looking at the 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.080 dietary fiber, like four point nine grams per one hundred 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.040 grams in the propell versus five point one grams, so 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.480 it's only slightly higher, but it's actually higher with a 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.200 smaller amount of chickpea, So I think it's I think 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.480 it's great. I think the ingredient list it's very clean, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.320 it's very good quality ingredients made from ninety percent Australian ingredients. 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.480 So again, I think we can just assume that it's 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.680 really the sesame of the tarhini that's sort of shipped 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.640 in from overseas, which is fine. I think it's a 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.680 really strong product. I just haven't been able to get 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.720 my hands on it to taste it, unfortunately, but I 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.920 would definitely be recommending this and using this in meal 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.680 plants my clients. I wouldn't have a hesitation as long 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:13.440 as I got the feedback that it tasted good. 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.320 And for me, this is a product that I would 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.080 be more likely to encourage my clients to use as 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.960 a spread more regularly in their diet. So for example, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.360 if they're looking for a spread, I would much rather 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.640 than use some of this than marjarine or butter on 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:31.840 any of their toast or salad, you know, crackers wraps. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.880 So you know, if you've tried it, let us know. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.320 But you know, absolutely, I'm giving it really high marks. 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.080 I think it's a great product if you can find it, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.320 and I would have no hesitation recommending this in all 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.920 the pill pel to be consumed in controlled amount, so 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.400 full disclosure. I do say to my client's no hommus 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.000 only because when it's in the fridge it's really easy 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.040 to get on dipping. I do tend to encourage it 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.160 more so to be a sport of product. You might 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.280 buy for a platter and you're entertaining and popping it 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.840 out that way, or making sure you're medasur the serves 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.040 out because keep in mind the recommended serves that these 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.080 are just a tablespoon or two. But I would be 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.480 more likely to agree to my clients enjoying the triple 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.520 less foods more frequently because it is significantly lower in 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.160 calories if you can keep those portions under control. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:16.280 So we'd love to hear if you. 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.960 Have tried it, or perhaps if you've got a little 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.480 dark horse dip that you'd write to share with us. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.040 But as I said, there are a sort of growing 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.119 range of more vegetable based dips, and hopefully dips that 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.480 have got a better profile than cream cheese and vegetable 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.680 oil as the base. And if you really want a 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.800 very quick scan of an ingredient list on a dip, 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.920 i'd be looking for ones that don't contain cream, cheese 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:37.600 or vegetable oil. On the base and you'll be on 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:38.200 the right track. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.800 I just want to make a really quick point with 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.919 the black Swan skinny hommers, the serving size is actually 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.639 ten grams. I just picked up on that. So the 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.479 propel is twenty grams, the SSS food homus is twenty 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.439 five grams, and the Blackscorn skinny one is ten grams. 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.040 So yes, you will end up quite slim and losing 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.600 weight if you're eating ten grams of hommas per serving, 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.840 which let's be honest, it's like a teaspoon and a half. 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.639 Nobody's actually eating that, so they can get away with 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.000 making their nutrition panel look very good at any twenty 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.920 two calories are serving. But show me anybody that only 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.760 eats ten grams of hommus, like they don't exist their unicorns. 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.760 No, it's definitely a serving size of at least one hundred. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:14.960 I say, I had to love Actually when you go 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.200 to the supermarket and you see those individual homus snack tubs, 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.000 we say those like you get like three crackers in 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.840 this massive bowl of it, and it's like three or 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.880
