I'm confused, answers on a postcard please!
I just added a recipe to the analyzer for vegan fruit cake, the ingredients are Dried fruit, flour, AlBran, water and brown sugar.
The recipe analyzer tells me that for each 1/14 slice of the cake there is 1.2g of fat in it and some of it is saturated!
Now where the heck does that come from? I don't even grease the baking tin just use baking parchment! And yes I know it's high in sugar but there's also nearly 8g of fibre in every 205 cal slice! So I'm prepared to chance the high sugar content ![]()
It's impossible to say. You'd have to look at the individual ingredients to see if any of them include saturated fat.
Sometimes cereals have small amounts of natural fat from grain. Also, some dried fruits have small amounts of fat, added during processing.
There is naturally occuring fat in wheat and hence in flour. It's quite a small amount, contained mainly in the germ, so I imagine that's where your (very low!) fat content is coming from.
Just goes to show you learn something new every day! I always thought the fat contentin bread was as a result of the recipe for baking bread now I know there is some in the wheat to begin with! But beinghonest I'm a tad thick becasue obviously that's where wheatgerm oil comes from der! ![]()
