fire roasted tomato triscuits

[deber26]

okay. so, I found them. I love them. But they list total carbs @ 20g, and sugars @ 0g. I've already forgotten the dietary fiber content - but we'll conservatively say 4g per serving.

How is the 0g sugar possible if, by definition - a carbohydrate is sugar?

Re: fire roasted tomato triscuits

Carbohydrates can be sugars or starches. A starch is just a bunch of sugar molecules bunched up together. A fiber is a starch or sugar that isn't digested by the body. So carbs are sugars, starches, and fibers.

I imagine most of the carbs are from the wheat and barley flour and cornstarch as well as the tomato and onions in it.
