Sugar/Destrose in Franco's mixes?

Franco,

Do your mixes contain sugar or dextrose?

[Franco]

Aris,

some of the mixes do include dextrose, I am still working on the full ingredients list so I'll post it soon.

Does the Sardinian mix contain it? I need to watch my sugar intake

The Sardinian mix contains dextrose, it adds a subtle sweetness and improves the cooking (browning) properties.

A 1 kg batch of sausage using this mix would contain between 7-14 grammes of dextrose depending on the usage rate. That would give you approximately 0.5 and 1 gramme of dextrose per average sized sausage.

Excellent inquiry! I am diabetic and need to pay more attention to carbohydrates than other folk who are not as "sweet" as I Being diabetic does not mean that sugars and other carbs are excluded; just must be monitored.
