I really hope this is legal cause it looks sooooo good.  SO is in charge of dinner tonight so before I consume... I just wanted to make sure it is ok. I was mostly concerned since it is microwaveable and it seems like a lot of g per serving.

To me this doesn't look legal, even though it's full of grains.


At 140g/serving, that's the equivalent of almost 5 oz.

You can have this product since it contains all legal ingredients.

This is one of those confusion-causers for me.


Looking at this product from the fiber content, it doesn't seem like it's legal.

Rice and pasta get counted in measuring cups not ounces.

I tried this recently and followed the directions for microwaving with some water (I think it was 2 tablespoons).

So 1/2c cooked is the serving size for rice and pasta, and that's what needs to have 3g fiber?


I'm so glad I always put disclaimers on my advice.

The 1/2 cup of brown rice or whole wheat pasta might not have 3 grams of fiber.
