Hey Mark
Thanks for the feedback – just to confirm when I look at the carb content for the Old El Paso seasoning it seems very high (with a large percentage of dextrose included).
Apologies if I’m missing something here.

@Dermot. That’s right mate but you only need a little bit. I said 1/2 packet in recipe but I only use 1 heaped teaspoon now, prob 3 grams carbs in total.
Thanks Mark – appreciate it!
