Did you view the label on the carton? I go by that rather than some other
source.

The label: 0 grams per serving. Serving size is 1 Tablespoon. I'm sure
this is wrong.

Yeah....it is not exactly zero. However, it is not too far off and it
shouldn't be a problem if you don't consume a lot of heavy cream.

According to DJ's site, the number is 0.42 g carbs per tablespoon.

Cream is approximately 6g per cup, or 1.5g per quarter cup.

Here's a website that you can use to get complete utritional values on jsut

When I divide 6.64 by 16 I get .415.

| USDA data for heavy whipping cream 6.64 carb per cup which is 16
| tablespoons

However, you want to watch your ingredients labels -- some brands of
whipping or especially "heavy whipping" creams contain added dextrose
for sweetening or added milk powder for thickening.

Can you buy a different brand with carb g per 100g???

Not in the US. The US standard is to provide nutritional information
based on a standardized serving, and a fair amount of effort has gone
into "persuading" manufacturers to base their numbers on reasonable
serving sizes. Of course, this is nutritionist-reasonable, not what
people actually do. For instance, a jar of Snapple contains 2 servings,
though most everybody would drink both servings at one sitting.

With things like cream, this isn't a real problem if your main use of
cream is to whiten coffee. However, if you occasionally make chocolate
mousse out of whipped cream, you're undercounting carbs if you rely on
the package information.

They are just trying make people's lives more difficult - instead of doing
multiplication they have to do division, which is waaaaay harder.

1/4.
