30 g per serving implies that the carbohydrate is sugar rather than starch,
and Dr. Chocolate implies that there is chocolate in it somewhere. Right?
Jim says 30 g is about 1 oz, or 2 tbps. (He learned this in nursing class).
A spread of some sort? Jim says 'raspberry jam'? (It would at least go well
with chocolate). I say it can't be, no Vitamin C. Peanut butter is too oily.

It's buried at the bottom, but the label proclaims 0% for sugar.
A bit of arithmetic: 30g (serving) - 1g (fat) - 22g (carb.) - 3g
(protein) = 4g for everything else.
30g is about 1 oz.....*if* this food's density is about the same as
that of liquid water. (If you're talking weight oz's instead
of fluid oz's, the 30g thing is true regardless....but then 1 oz
may not equal 2 T.)
I've been calling myself "Dr. Chocolate" in the cf. for years, so
it might not be safe to make the assumption...

Jim asks 'rice cracker'? No salt, no sugar, no chocolate. No fun. :}
(Jim asks why not :) - I tell him that } shows his beard)

Wonder Bread or some variation on it without added vitamins?

The food has *way* too much fiber to be any member of the WonderSponge
family. You're right that no vitamins (or minerals) were added.

Would someobody else please guess at this one? Nobody wants to be guessing
at the sort of food we would post if we guessed right. Bran?

It's only 1/6 dietary fiber (by weight). Is any sort of "bran" that
fiber-poor?
(You are getting closer to the identity of this upstanding member of
the cerials food group;)

Wheat germ contains more protein and fat, but less carbo's than this
food. Besides, there's no wheat in it.

It's not a ready-to-eat food. And corn can't match this food's
fiber content.

Oatmeal? (says Jim) Quinoa?
Looks like one of these dry cereals but they are ready to eat. Wheaties have
about the right ratio but you said no wheat, and not ready to eat.
Someone else please guess. If we win again we will enter one of those things
we just bought at the Chinese grocery store (not the pickled pomelos).

It's a dry cereal(grain), but not a dry cereal(breakfast).

Who would eat just 30 g (1 oz) of a dry cereal?
Cereals: millet, sorghum, rye, barley, oats, teff, rice.
Buckwheat is not a grain.
Amaranth. Spelt and kamut are types of wheat, as are emmer and einkorn.
We cook grains by the 8 or 16 ounces.
You can make noodles from corn, wheat, mung beans, or sweet potato starch.

It's rye flour. The 30 g is probably what you'd get from a couple slices
of rye bread.
Who wants to pose a mystery food next?

But who would cook with 30g rye flour?

Well, the 30g is about 1/4 C....so if there's 2 C of rye flour in the
loaf of rye bread that you make, and you eat 1/8 of the loaf in your
sandwich, then you've gotten about 30g of rye flour.
Same principle as the nutritional info on a box of baking soda. The
1/8 t serving size doesn't represent the amount used in any recipe,
but how much baking soda they expect one person to get when homemade
biscuits are served with dinner.

I make loaves with 4 cups flour and eat half a loaf at a sitting, or more.
Jim eats a whole loaf.
