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.

I have never heard of any spaghetti that had more than one ingredient.
We have only one thing left in the kitchen, other than some rather exotic
canned and dried fruits, which has a nutrition label.

(Keesan's never heard of spinach spaghetti, lasagne, etc.?????)
#179 looks like a nut butter.

No I had not heard of spinach spaghetti, only plain spaghetti. I had heard
of spinach noodles (macaroni type). We make our own noodles from durum flour
and don't add coloring, the vegetables get cooked separately.
Not a nut butter.

No, but closer. The 'calcium A' might be some sort of clue as to the origin
of the container.

By that clue, I meant that whoever printed the container did not know much
English, this product is imported. If nobody can guess any closer in a few
days, I will tell you the region of origin.
This product can be mixed with another 'what am I" and used to dunk
pieces of bread into.

It's gotta be cheese! :-)

Cheese has quite a bit of sodium (salt) and protein (casein), but I admit that
it also has a lot of fats in it. The nut butter and sunflower seed guesses
were a bit closer. It has no cholesterol, and cheese has a lot of
cholesterol, because all animal products have it. As a hint, this product
is from the same part of the world as our previous entry (pomegranate syrup).

Keesan mentioned using tahini (sesame seed paste) in item #43 and this
looks pretty close (clues match, too), so i'll guess that.

Pickled eyelashes? Bees Knees? ;)
I just had to add that.

Not eyelashes (they probably have cholesterol, as do bees' knees). Yes, this
is tahini, we bought a large container to add calories and flavor. I have
used it on boiled potatoes, on salad, etc. Well, unless I can look things
up in my nutrition book, we are out of labels. Time to go to the CHinese food
store and get something interesting. Who wants to go next?

They seem real bashful when we put it that way. Maybe we should just tell
someone "you're drafted".
