What is in your average flat white?

New snack option?
Clients are always bringing new snacks to me for advice. I thought I'd jump the gun and review this roasted blackbean w cocoa and and sea salt option. The taste is more interesting than a plain roasted bean, though the cocoa and salt flavours aren't that strong. Looking at the nutritionals: their claim of source of iron is accurate: (2.4g/serve), though salt content is actually very low (68mg/100g sodium), while fibre content is excellent. I would prefer a product with less added sugar and more cocoa, though this one is acceptable as a snack (528kJ/serve) and taste is a personal perspective. Other comparable options are roasted chickpea/fava beans. Happy snacking!

Food Safety
I hate food waste as much as the next person, but I also care about food safety. I find pre-christmas a great time of year to go through the fridge and turf:
>Anything past its used by date
>Anything opened that is past the suggested storage time post opening (e.g. 4 weeks)
>Anything that you can't remember opening, because you haven't labelled it
>Anything opened, that doesn't have a suggested storage time and is significantly past its best before date (3-6 months)
>If in doubt, throw it out
This creates more space in the fridge for Christmas goodies and that added comfort of food safety.
P.S. You can still recycle all the bottles and cans that you empty
P.P.S. This isn't my fridge ... See MoreSee Less
