Ok, i've got to different tubs of "100% organic barley grass powder", both from New Zealand.

Nutritional information/100g on Tub 1 reads:
Energy..........1300kj
Protein..........19.9g
Fat...............5.2g
Carbs-total....64g
-sugars...8.1g
Fiber.............35.2g


Tub 2 reads:
Energy..........1050kj
Protein..........29g
Fat...............2.5g
Carbs-total....3.4g
-sugars...3.1g
Fiber.............39g

whats the deal here?

i would assume the first tub has a lot of maltodextrin.. technically not sugar, but it's just like it.. hence, the reason for the huge carb difference..
 
i have a feeling maltodextrin would have to be classified under "sugars", and in ther ingredients it only says 100% orgainc barley grass

nope... my weight gainer says 7g of sugar.. but it's loaded with maltodextrin, cuz it's the 2nd listed ingredient on the label.. 88g of carbs
