cici CiCi' Thoughts on Half & Half Vs. Cream Reviews Date of last review 4 Tue May 1, 2012 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 100% of reviewers $3.29 9.3 Description: Ingredients: Half & Half Carton Cream Carton How To Prepare: I've heard many people, in fact almost everyone, in chat say that cream has less carbs than half & half. I've been corrected about this issue more than once. So, once and for all...you may all have and keep your own opinion about it. Time and time again, someone says 'cream has less carbs' so, I check my carton...AGAIN. EACH and EVERY time, the carton reads: Half & Half has: 1 gram of carbs per 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream has: 2 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons You may believe what you will, but I am going by what the cartons say when I post my recipes. Anyone would agree that we've been told by the experts to use the product evaluation for the brand we buy. Number of Servings: anyone Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 1 Preparation Time: 1 min. Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: The difference is caused by the fact that the serving sizes are different. 1 serving of half and half is 2 Tablespoons = 2 carb 1 serving of cream is 1 Tablespoon = 1 carb So, they have the same carb count, however, half and half will have far fewer calories.

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 0    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Cons: There is also a difference between whipping cream and heavy whipping cream! When I buy "whipping cream" it has 1g carb per 1 tablespoon. But the "heavy whipping cream" I buy which is from organic valley is 0g carbs per tablespoon, and the ONLY ingredient in it is cream. On the other hand "whipping cream" has more than one ingredient- cream and skim milk and then some thickeners and diglycerides.. I've researched this because it's so confusing as to what is what... Stick with some of the better brands like organic valley where you actually get CREAM and that is all, and it'll have no carbs.

That is my choice.
