    If the second ingredient is starch and the third is dextrose (dextrose = sugar) I would not eat it.

      It is easy to make your own sugarfree/starchfree/ chemical free guacamole.

          Simple Guacamole Recipes

          Guacamole is a tasty dip made from avocados. You can use this dip for celery, broccoli, multigrain chips, and a wide variety of healthy uses.

          The avocado is the perfect healthy fruit. It's high in fiber, practically zero carb, and full of potassium and vitamin E.

          2 avocados
          1 clove garlic
          1 Tbsp cilantro
          1 lime's juice
          salt & pepper

          Peel and pit the avocados. Put the flesh into a bowl and mash until relatively smooth. Mince the garlic and mix that in. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Add seasoning as desired. Enjoy!

          Lime juice is 3g/oz, so let's say you get an entire ounce out of the lime. For the two avocados, those are 3.4g of net carbs each. So your total count for the entire batch of guacamole is 9.8g. This might be a lot if you eat the entire vat of guacamole - but in dip form, where you're putting bits on celery pieces, it's quite fine!

          Highly recommended as a dip we should all grow to love and use regularly! If you're not a fan of the avocado, keep giving it a try in low doses - your tongue will learn to appreciate its flavors

          Carbs: .5g/serving

              You are limited to a half of a small avocado per day. So, however that translates into the guacamole, there you go.
