I guess I knew this, but it's more powerful in writing. I fell victim to sugary yogurt this morning (albeit Siggi's, which has less sugar than most).

  • Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
    Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :)
  • bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)

  • DietID_TeamDietitians Great question. Many wheat tortillas do have added sugar, e.g. Mission brand tortillas and Mayan tortillas. However there are some great brands that I love that don't have added sugar like the...

  • saidaj Well, I live in Mexico and the tortillas that my mom buys are handmade and not store bought. Thus, there is no label.

  • Sim Thank you @annefood, looks like I'll be making my own pasta sauces from now on.
  • annefood You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any...
