  • Look what I found in my cauliflower!!!

    Maybe it's normal... I don't know. It's the first time I buy frozen cauliflower and we never eat frozen veggies at home. Anyway, I found these funny looking thingies in it. There are actually more of them! Like 7 or so in a 750 g (26.5 oz) bag.

    This is frozen:



    and this is after I took the ice off one of them:



    Yesterday I was checking the carbs on the bag and it said 12 g (these are net) per 100 g (about a cup), so I thought they did a mistake or something, because obviously you can't have 12 net carbs in a cup of raw cauliflower. But then I found these cuties in the bag today and it all makes sense... [No, I didn't even think checking the ingredients, because I thought it's just cauliflower if "cauliflower" is what's written on the label, plus German and I are not good friends. ]

    The ingredients are in German and I don't understand everything, but if I translated correctly, then this should be the stuff in them: hydrogenated palm oil, milk powder, skimmed milk, cream, rice stach (I think), weizenmehl (don't know what this is...), parsley, milk protein, hydrolyzed soy protein, yeast, salt, pepper, natural flavors.

    Yuck! I threw away the "snowballs" and just eat the cauliflower, but grrrr! So what was I saying about ALWAYS reading the ingredients?

    By the way, can anyone "identify" them? Should they be cooked with the cauliflower? Or added on it afterwards, like butter or something? They smell really nasty, like dough...

      Could be, I guess. I make my own flavored butter, so I never checked the ingredients on the ones at the supermarket.... I'm surprised it has so much crap in it though (hydrogenated oils, starches, etc.). I would have expected it to be just butter and herbs.

            weizenmehl (don't know what this is...)
            It's wheat flour. Maybe they are some kind of fritter.

              LOL! Nah... Bugs are good. Yummy protein!

              Thanks for the German language help. So is this butter with flour in it?

                I don't see any butter in there. I see some kind of dough thingy. Do you still have the bag? What is the full name of the product?

                    Hmm... so the cream is just 5%. And 80% is cauliflower, out of 750 g. That leaves 20 g for each of the 7 little thingies... so 5 g of cream in each creaming stuff?

                    The rest is starch, oils, wheat, milk and soy proteins and such...

                          Perhaps the image of Georgiana's thingies will ever be a reminder to us all to read the labels.

                            Yep. It means Cream cauliflower. Bleck! I'll make my own.

                            Note to self: If ever in Germany, do not buy any veggie preceded with the word "rahm."

                              I guess the mystery continues....

                              I hear the Jeopardy theme song in the background....
