amandaalice Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So I'm on day one, and already feeling the effects of no sugar from my regular morning vanilla latte, but I can do this! That said, I was looking at pre-packaged pesto and was wondering if it's compliant? I need to buy a new food processor, but was hoping to make a recipe with pesto tonight. Also, regular yellow mustard doesn't seem to be bad (the ones I've found without sugar, that is). Are there any other hidden ingredients in mustard I need to look for? I also read that Annie's dijon mustard is OK? I want to do this right, so any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterBL Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Annie's Organic Dijon Mustard: Distilled White Vinegar, Water, *Mustard Seed, Sea Salt, *Clove. With Dijon Mustard, you really only have to watch out for wine and added sugar, in my experience so far. Good luck on finding a compliant pesto- I haven't so far. Even tomato pestos always come up with sulfites or something else, assuming they have compliant oil and no cheese. Be really wary about relying on 'I read somewhere'- ultimately, it is up to you to read the labels when you buy the item and before you use it.

manley0702 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Always read the ingredients, but it looks like both Heinz and French's yellow mustard is compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amandaalice Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for the tips! I ended up buying the Annie's organic Dijon and then made a yummy pesto in the blender. I found a recipe that subs macadamia nuts for parmesean cheese to still give it that buttery and salty kick. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
