Is it cheating to look in my nutrition book? Especially since nobody else
seems to have one?

All stumped? Some people may be peeved with themselves when they find
out what this mystery food is.....

Can you tell us if it a mixture or one thing? I am no good at guessing
mixtures, I only buy single ingredients.

The nutritional profile is fairly indicative of the mystery food's main
ingredient. ;)

Walter, I have three more translations to do so please don't take
it personally if I don't get out my nutrition book for a few days. And we
are hoping to have the living room cleaned out by Saturday. I have some
interesting new labels that I may either show you then or save for here.

Thanks, I did a print screen and will go cheat with my book, while
fetching housebuilding materials for Jim. Let's see, since fat has twice the
calories of starch or protein, this is about 5/7 starch, 1/7 each fat
(non-animal) and protein, fairly high in iron and B vitamins. I wonder what
plant product has no sugars at all. A grain?
Whole grain wheat, cooked, is about the correct fiber carb prot fat ratio.
My book gives vitamin content in mg, not % of daily allowance. The fiber to
carb ratio is about 1 to 5, and in your mystery item it is about the same.
Is this a grain or made primarily from a grain? Whole wheat flour?

Whole wheat is the primary ingredient in this food. Some preparation is
strongly suggested before consumption, but it is not flour.

I don't think bulgur contains anything besides the wheat. Could this be a
mix for whole wheat bread, including yeast and maybe salt? I recall Walter
having wheat gluten with vitamin C added to put in his bread machine bread
dough.

My main nutrition book agrees that bulgur is nothing but wheat (some
varieties, processed a certain way). This food isn't bulgur, and
may or may not contain secondary ingredients....
At 80mg/pound sodium, i feel safe saying that no salt's been added to
this food. (Nor baking soda, baking powder, etc.) Neither has yeast.
It's not a baking mix. But keesan is, in a way, very close to the mark.

Do you mean by 'may or may not' that you have a nutrition label but no list
of ingredients, or that variants of this product have different ingredients?
Bread flour?

I've got a complete list of ingredient(s). I'm not committing on how
many item(s) are on said list. :) Otherwise, see #169.

Whole wheat noodles with possibly spinach or beets added for color? They
sometimes come in mixed bags of different colors, and thus each noodle would
have different ingredients.

Are you telling me this is just whole wheat spaghetti? If so, I don't know
of any ingredients in it other than the durum wheat flour. What did you mean
by other ingredients?

Yes, whole wheat spaghetti. Durum whole wheat flour is the only ingredient
in the brand i bought. I just didn't want to give a clue as big as "only
one ingredient".
You're up.
