what kind of flowers are they, seems really weird to me that they got literally nothing in them, I would think they at least have some carbs, at least from fibers......dunno

[290wannabe150onAtkins]

It is a mixture, depends on the season, some have carnations, marigolds....the other slip my mind. But it depends.

Well we all know they have something in them. I mean at the very very least they would have fiber.

Yah that's what I think, sadly enough i can't find anything about nutrition facts on dutch sites, sorry can't help you :no

[not2late]

Don't trust those numbers....Flowers have carbs in them, just like leaves and stems....

So should I just steer clear, or does anyone know of anyway to get other nutrition info on them?
