Chicken Broth Question

Patkid · 01-22-2013, 07:36 AM

Why are there carbs in Chicken broth?
Even high quality broth at TJ's has 1 carb per serving.
I get it boullioun, because of processing, but boxed / canned broth?
Thanks

Most broths are made with veggies (onions, carrots, celery, etc) and some of that transfers to the finished product.

I've noticed a lot of them have sugar of some sort in them as well.

Yes, most of them have added sugar, which really irritates me. I prefer to make my own broth, but sometimes I need to buy it.

I found an organic chicken broth with no carbs. Slightly more expensive, but very good!
