Anything but spam! haha One thing I have been fascinated with is all of the meats in a can eastern Europe has, pates? We don't have many here in the states, and the ones we do have taste horrible. During my time in the army I had a few of the MRE's from other countries which had these canned meats and I loved them.
@@DJxSGGxNeo Back when I was in the Army, all we had were 4 varieties, and they all were horrible. I picked up a case of the modern MREs, they still aren't too good, but lightyears better than the ones we had. As far as Spam goes, try the turkey or teriyaki versions, I much prefer those. The single slice pouches are great for hiking and camping, no refrigeration needed, and they weigh almost nothing.
From the nutritional value comparison (5:20) it would appear that the ratio of fat to protein is the same. It seems like the nut version is low-fat but it's not low-fat, it's high-water. I suspect either the compound congeals readily with water, or they intentionally made it appear low-fat, or both.
Gaz and Tommy was s'posed to stow the loot down the lockup but they only gone and left it in the back of Sharon's Cortina when the bluebottles came lookin'. Gaz got nicked and now I got Mickey askin' where's his bangers & mash. It's a right nut luncheon I can tell yer.
Can we have a pantry tour in one of your random compilation videos? I'd be really curious what you keep in your kitchen - you're always really well stocked!
I have eaten nut luncheon for years - I think at one time it was called 'Nutoline'. I tend to have it sliced fairly thin and have it as a filling for a panini with onions and tomatoes. I have never thought of pan frying it or pan frying it with some batter - may give that a try. I like the idea of adding a marinade too.
Same! It WAS called Nuttoline! I got sad when they stopped selling it and for ages I didn't know it was rebranded as nut luncheon. My mum used to get this frequently when I was little. I've only really had it chilled in slices on the side with rice and vegetables or just on its own 😅
Made by Granose, there was Nuttolene and similar canned "meats" with names like Protose, Saviand and Bologna (my favourite) made from nuts, wheat gluten, soya etc. I think a firm called Mapletons made a Nut Luncheon Roll that was very similar. Vegetarian / vegan manufactured foods are generally better today, but there are a few of these products that I miss.
This is without a doubt one of your best videos ever. I was so hilariously caught off guard by the can opening sequence, LOL. I don't know how many good YTPers are active in 2021, but that scene is quality YTP material. My favorite part of the video is the mention at the end about animal products vs plant based products.
Being still quite new to my journey as an adult, these videos are useful to me. The way you often make food from little in the way of ingredients or cash, I can uniquely identify with it. 🙂
Thats quite interesting. Considering the lack of ingredients i wonder how easy it would be to make your own version from scratch. I imagine a home made version with your own special preffered blend of herbs and spices added could make it much more interesting than a bland salty peanutty flavour.
Yeah, I reckon a pressure cooker would be required to make this. I am surprised they don't make flavoured versions, but I suppose they would have to make several, and the market for this product in total isn't huge
@@AtomicShrimp IIRC canned, cooked products are usually canned raw (lid shut), and then cooked inside an autoclave, by steam, under pressure. Steaming a Mason Jar sans pressure might make a reasonable facsimile? Although i have no clue how important the pressure is. Pressure cookers always seemed a little black magicky to me^^
I’ve been vegetarian for just shy of a decade and have always picked up nut luncheon, gone ‘sounds weird’ and put it down as I was worried about how much like spam it would taste! I’ll have to try it now I’ve seen this video, can already think of loads of ways I’d use it! Thanks for a great Saturday morning video, wishing you a lovely weekend
Not too bad to be honest, it retains some consistency though with a lot more moisture. When I made it a few weeks ago with ramen, I put it in afterwards and not during the cooking of the broth, as I feared it might break down. Perhaps another brave soul can try cooking it in the miso from the start and let us all know?
@@rishjam5071 Good to know! If you haven't already, try the actual Japanese ramen, SO much better than the cheap stuff. Here in the US they can run $2 each compared to the usual .25 cents, but they have less sodium and far better ingredients.
@@MotherSoren Hehe, fair enough, but I about lost my mind when I started paying attention to the insane sodium amounts on the cheap ramen, I've seen some with 115% DV of sodium in them. I usually add baby spinach, mushrooms, and chicken or shrimp.
I understand a slight tofu resemblance, but wonder where you get the impression of liverwurst from this. Genuinely asking as a German that eats "Leberwurst" regularly, who also doesn't see any relation between it and the product shown. Is liverwurst something else outside of Germany?
I use luncheon meat for fishing along ,mostly for carp , and seeing as carp love peanuts I will give this a try , I will let you know if it's any good!
@@notsoaverageslovenian carp love peanuts , but they are very bad for them , so much so that in most fishing clubs its listed in the rules that they are banned, and you have to give them a long soak before use and then boil them , that's why this stuff is better , straight out of the tin or lightly grilled ,the same as spam

The Mock Duck is actually wheat gluten - and you can often get a virtually identical product (mock "duck", "chicken", "abalone") cheaper from Chinese supermarkets. I think the ones sold in health food shops are also imported from, I think, Taiwan.
Yeah the mock duck is really something else. Bit of an interesting texture but I've accepted that most of them are like that. It's delicious cooked with a few extra herbs and spices in a pan, and some soy sauce. I actually added the brine from asian style pickled garlic which is soy sauce and sugar based. It was amazing with some mashed potatoes and roasted veggies.
Thank you for the close up of the bread rolls being torn asunder! It was so satisfying. Also, I had been missing that jazzy riff at the end. Thanks for thst.
Reminds me of the Adventist nutty loaf. It is delicious if you use it in like a peanut thai mussiman curry! Stir fries and peanut noodle salad. I love it!
Loved how you turned into Austin Powers during the birth scene. Your first taste was far more exotic than mine, bought it a while ago, had it for breakfast this morning, just fried it til it had a crispy outside, slapped it in a bagel with tomato relish. I thought it had an eggy texture, and it stayed hot so felt like good comfort food. Came into YT to see how to make it, cos I begrudge paying£2 for it, ha! I'm so mean at times. Nearly 30 years vegetarian, and exposed to weird food, hadn't heard of it until the day I bought it.
We have an identical product here in Australia called Nutolene. I looked up the company yours is from and like the Aussie one, it was owned by seventh day Adventists. They make a lot of veggie and vegan food. I grew up eating nutolene, and another one called Nutmeat.
It used to be called Nuttolene in the UK too - this leads to confusion in the health food shop when my sons ask where the Nuttolene is as the staff only know it as the label name...
Honestly, I mean really in the most honest of fashion for having made my own: Make your own and be freakin' amazed by the result. Most of them are made in the oven and naturally roast... roasted nuts (and veggies), yum! Some are steamed (never tried). It's so cheap and satisfying, versatile and infinitely customizable.
@@PandemoniumMeltDown You raise very valid and interesting points! My counterpoint: I'm lazy, and like to have things in the cupboard that last a long time.
Ngl, sanitarium's nut meat was something that I ate a lot of when I was a kid. My grandmother was someone who liked vegan foods but also loved meat and looked for as many alternatives as she could. Nut meat sandwiches were something I ate every time I went to Grandmas.
Word. Even to this day we keep a can or two of both Nutmeat and Nutolene in the cupboard. I got nutmeat and tomato sauce sandwiches from the school canteen.
I found this channel a few days ago and I love everything about it. I know that your content is really various but you speak exactly about all the things that I'm interested in! I believe I can say it's my favorite RUclips channel so far... I started watching YT in 2013. Thanks for creating the great content and I wish you all the best in your life! 🥰
I wonder what the cost difference was? Also, SPAM is famous for its long shelf life, this product sounds like it could be very shelf stable - I wonder how long it could last? I commend your efforts on giving this canned item a very thorough testing! Good job!
Regarding nut patés, I'd say that the best thing is, if you're so inclined, to make your own with fresh ingredients for, however you look at it, you'll control what goes in and the way it's made. Also, the price of industrially produced stuff will always reflect compromises that, if one thinks about it in an informed way, insider style, no one would like to make.
I like how he mentioned that it was still in date. Vastly different from Ashens, who would forget about it until it was past the expiry date possibly way after it expired
That brings back memories, I worked in the factory making this many many years ago & had to run a QC test on a can of this. Turns out if you're impatient and don't wait for the can to cool before you puncture it this stuff sprays out like... well... I won't actually say it, but it put me to shame and took a lot of cleaning of the ceiling !
Been vegan for 4 years now and am very plugged in with the vegan culinary world. I have never even heard a passing mention of anything even resembling this. I wonder if it is a NA vs UK thing?
@@SisterSunshineTV As did Cedar Lake. I think both these firms had links to the 7th Day Adventists, as did Granose Ltd, the British firm that originally marketed this product. Loma Linda foods occasionally get imported into the UK, but, sadly, not very often.
On the topic of vegan meat/tofu (I assume you have some experience): I recently (accidentally) picked up some vegan sausage, and the texture was like a soggy bread. The taste was alright, pretty good really, but I just couldn't get past the texture. Could you suggest what I could do with the remainder? It's almost like a paste, just in a sausage form. I tried spreading it on bread, but the flavor just didn't fit to bread. Could sausage-paste burger patties work? I have a feeling it could work
That's certainly interesting stuff, I've never seen such a thing. But I think I'll stick to fresh produce, it's just a thing I have about processed foods. I enjoyed the video though! Always informative and entertaining.
While I agree with you, this is arguable one of the least processed "processed" foods you can buy. Much like tofu in the fact that there's nothing in the way of flavourings, trans fats or artificial ingredients.
Hmm, some type of mystery substance in a can??? Put it on toast/bread... Was there any doubt that Atomic Shrimp would find a way?? I'm actually rather impressed!
I'm personally a fan of veggie burgers, this seems neat because i don't like things that try to taste like meat but i like things that keep their flavor. sort of like the uncanny valley but for meat imitations instead...
It's not so much the opening of the thing (although that can be a problem with things like bags of dry peanuts) - it's the risk of cross contamination in the kitchen
Exactly - it's easier just to run a peanut-free house and not have to think about controlling the risk on a product/meal level. I did crave peanut butter something terrible during our guest's stay. Cashew and almond butters are nice, but they are not the same!
Hey atomic shrimp, long time fan here, especially of your series weird stuff in a can. My gf Ran into this weird stuff in a the day before. It blew my mind. MyEy. Vegan egg in a can. It looked quite realistic and I would love to see you doing a video on it :). Thanks for being awesome and please keep doing what you're doing.
Yeah, it seriously is. I lived about a year with someone who has a life-threatening peanut allergy and they are literally afraid of anything and everything, both in stores and in restaurants, because nobody takes contamination control seriously. You can pick up a packet of almost any ready-to-eat food and see "may contain traces of peanut" in it.
It can be annoying enough even having a mild allergy - can't imagine how it is having a life-threatening one. People, for whatever reason, don't take nut allergies very seriously outside of schools and daycares - it's almost like they've gone out of fashion (meanwhile vegan/gf/paleo/etc diets have had the unfortunate side effects of increasing the prevalence of undisclosed nuts in restaurant meals, because the removed ingredients are almost always replaced with nuts). My extended family often forgets I have a tree nut allergy and will serve nut-containing cakes at gatherings I'm at without offering anything else, or assumes I've somehow grown out of my allergy. I wish I had, but apparently people don't grow out of nut allergies. My immediate family don't do that - they eat nuts around me which is fine, I'm not allergic enough for that to cause concern. My wife is about the only person I've ever met who is so sensitive to my allergy that she feels bad eating nut-containing things around me because I'll miss out. She saves the nut ice creams and nut chocolates and nut baked goods for when I'm not around. Interesting aside - the Magnum Gold Caramel Billionaire is nut free, but it's pecan *flavoured*. After checking the ingredients list very carefully and realising it didn't actually contain any nuts, I gave it a go. I can't say how authentic the flavour is because I've never eaten a real pecan, but it's interesting having a nut flavoured product that doesn't contain any nuts.
... it was a hot day in San Diego, detective Nut Luncheon collapsed into his familiar shabby chair. He couldn't get that Shrimp dame out of his head...
Mike & co. thanks for more tinned temptations. This was fascinating to me. Shame by old body doesn't tolerate nuts anymore, I would have enjoyed trying it to see what I could do with it. All the best JIM Oaxaca, Mexico
I recommend it. The hardest bit is getting it out of the tin. Then you can slice it to use in sandwiches with pickle, or cube it and use it in salads, fry it in slices as Shrimp does, or cube it and use it in stews and curries. It’s brilliant!
I like how unbiased and unpretentious you are with veg/ vegan food. I recently gave up meat so it gives me a good excuse to go back and watch older videos 😎😎
That sounds like a great idea, I love all things nuts. The pricing and nutrition numbers look good as well. I would definitely make this a regular thing for myself if it were available.
Not quite, it's much firmer than even extra firm tofu to the touch but also it has no flexible structure really unless you cut a very very thin slice, like Shrimp did off the can lid, it's much less pliable. It's still very delicious but I wouldn't say it's much like tofu, texture-wise.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HIM GOING 'PANT LIKE A DOG PANT LIKE A DOG YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL' WHILE FORCING NUT LUNCHEON OUT OF A CAN . LITERALLY WHAT
The calorie count includes calories, wich are not digestible for humans, like these out of fibre. It is more like a "mechanical value", not a nutricional value. At least, that is what i learned back then in Uni...
Just compared the nutritional values and the nut luncheon actually has less calories. Tulip pork luncheon meat: 330cal/100g and 14g protein Granovita nut luncheon: 208cal/100g and 10,2g protein www.nutritionix.com/i/tulip/pork-luncheon-meat/589036d67599bee50c170e3e groceries.asda.com/product/vegan-meat-alternatives/grano-vita-vegan-nut-luncheon/1000239985905

I wonder what the cost difference was? Also, SPAM is famous for its long shelf life, this product sounds like it could be very shelf stable - I wonder how long it could last? I commend your efforts on giving this canned item a very thorough testing! Good job!
About the cost difference, Atomic pinned his comment about it.
This has too much fat to be self stable. Fat goes rancid quicker
@@thekell It lasts for years.
Regarding nut patés, I'd say that the best thing is, if you're so inclined, to make your own with fresh ingredients for, however you look at it, you'll control what goes in and the way it's made. Also, the price of industrially produced stuff will always reflect compromises that, if one thinks about it in an informed way, insider style, no one would like to make.
Watch some Steve1989 videos, he's had good luck with *very* old peanut butter.
The “Do Not Click Links” signage hints at a “Weird Stuff in a Can”/ “Scam Baiting” crossover episode and I’m all in for that.
In Canada there's a brand of luncheon meat called Klik.
I’m definitely going to give this a try! It looks so tasty
those sandwiches you prepared looked super appetizing.
I like how he mentioned that it was still in date. Vastly different from Ashens, who would forget about it until it was past the expiry date possibly way after it expired
I love me a tasty, historically ancient MRE that, to this very day, still hisses nicely.
This is exactly what I picture dystopian future "nutrition paste" to look like.
And Spam doesn't do that for you?
No one is talking about the push like a dog bit. And man that killed me

@@ahandsomefridge Singular...
i wish you didn't have so many followers. then i might get through the comments in less than a day or two... cheers AS. you're a gem of a find.
Where do the calories come from? It has more calories than the competing products but less fat, less carbs, and less protein.
I think the info given is incorrect - checking elsewhere I found 317 kcal, 25g fat, 9g carbs, 14g protein per 100g for the Granovita nut luncheon
Same as *Halting*, the on-screen figures didn't add up and when I checked online, figures were different
fat 25 x 9 kcal/g + carbs 9 x 4kcal/g + protein 14 x 4kca/g total 317 that checks out.
Check the top of the page-Mr Shrimp has pinned some info there.
That brings back memories, I worked in the factory making this many many years ago & had to run a QC test on a can of this.
Turns out if you're impatient and don't wait for the can to cool before you puncture it this stuff sprays out like... well... I won't actually say it, but it put me to shame and took a lot of cleaning of the ceiling !
Incredible!
Been vegan for 4 years now and am very plugged in with the vegan culinary world. I have never even heard a passing mention of anything even resembling this. I wonder if it is a NA vs UK thing?
Loma Linda foods sells a nutty loaf similar to what he is checking out
@@SisterSunshineTV As did Cedar Lake. I think both these firms had links to the 7th Day Adventists, as did Granose Ltd, the British firm that originally marketed this product. Loma Linda foods occasionally get imported into the UK, but, sadly, not very often.
Holland and Barrett sells it too. It's not very expensive compared to their other stuff but is still quite a bit more than spam.
I was so happy to see another Weird Stuff video!
People also dice it up, mix with vegan mayo, add diced celery some apple and grapes etc makes a delicious faux chickn salad
That sounds like a great idea!

You should do geocaching. It would really fit on your channel
On the topic of vegan meat/tofu (I assume you have some experience):
I recently (accidentally) picked up some vegan sausage, and the texture was like a soggy bread. The taste was alright, pretty good really, but I just couldn't get past the texture. Could you suggest what I could do with the remainder? It's almost like a paste, just in a sausage form. I tried spreading it on bread, but the flavor just didn't fit to bread.
Could sausage-paste burger patties work? I have a feeling it could work
That's certainly interesting stuff, I've never seen such a thing. But I think I'll stick to fresh produce, it's just a thing I have about processed foods.
I enjoyed the video though! Always informative and entertaining.
While I agree with you, this is arguable one of the least processed "processed" foods you can buy. Much like tofu in the fact that there's nothing in the way of flavourings, trans fats or artificial ingredients.
I appreciate these videos for always introducing me to new and interesting foods to keep an eye out for and try for myself!
Whenever I hear Luncheon, I have to think about Steamed Ham's.
I’m so stoked to see this, and very impressed that you opened it so easily! It’s good with pickle on sandwiches, or cubed in curries and stews.
So true, with pickles, mayo and freshly grounded black pepper...
Hmm, some type of mystery substance in a can??? Put it on toast/bread... Was there any doubt that Atomic Shrimp would find a way?? I'm actually rather impressed!
Yeah, but the "and some ketchup" part lost me completely.
Love seeing new things here! With my luck, the nut loaf would have rocketed across the room and I'd have been cleaning it off the wall.
I'm personally a fan of veggie burgers, this seems neat because i don't like things that try to taste like meat but i like things that keep their flavor. sort of like the uncanny valley but for meat imitations instead...
I wanna gag on a cats balls
@@Woletat Lmao
@@jameswilkes451 5 months late but better than never
LOL it sounded like you were giving birth to that luncheon when you were trying to remove it from the can 😁
its interesting that someone with a allergy can be effected by it so badly that you cant even open a can of the stuff anywhere near them
It's not so much the opening of the thing (although that can be a problem with things like bags of dry peanuts) - it's the risk of cross contamination in the kitchen
Even if not, why risk it?
Exactly - it's easier just to run a peanut-free house and not have to think about controlling the risk on a product/meal level. I did crave peanut butter something terrible during our guest's stay. Cashew and almond butters are nice, but they are not the same!
@@AtomicShrimp that all makes sense now
@@AtomicShrimp I do have a weird liking for cashew butter though! Not that I have any allergies, but it's nice to have choice and variation.
i was just rewatching some older vids and this popped up! How convenient
Looking for some vegetable based sandwich 🥪 stuff. However much I love 🥒 cucumber sandwich, there's only so much you can eat.
Hey atomic shrimp, long time fan here, especially of your series weird stuff in a can. My gf Ran into this weird stuff in a the day before. It blew my mind. MyEy. Vegan egg in a can. It looked quite realistic and I would love to see you doing a video on it :).
Thanks for being awesome and please keep doing what you're doing.
I'm into it! I'm really hoping I can find a can of it to try myself
Vegankind have it in their online supermarket. It’s gorgeous!
the pausing timer on the nutritional info is such a cool feature! Also interesting food stats ! O:
Push, push, keep pushing 😂
Not gonna lie; I cackled at that.
@@Shenorai It was "Pant like a dog" I completely lost it!
Breathe... Breathe!!
Did not expect to see shrimp crowning 🤣
If it tastes anything like boiled peanuts, I'd like it.
Boiled peanuts are addictive.
You had me googling if I could get my grubby little mitts on a few tins here in Sweden at 'peanuts'
Oh man, that's nuts man!
Nice video m8, I've been binging your videos for 3 hours now
“Nut lunch is made of PEOPLE!” 😱
Soylent nut
The taste varies person to person.
Haha that looks vile, love your channel Mr Shrimp!
gotta be hell to have a life-threatening nut allergy, everyone's making cheap jokes about it but I sympathize
Yeah, it seriously is. I lived about a year with someone who has a life-threatening peanut allergy and they are literally afraid of anything and everything, both in stores and in restaurants, because nobody takes contamination control seriously. You can pick up a packet of almost any ready-to-eat food and see "may contain traces of peanut" in it.
I think it must be even worse in the USA, where peanuts seem to be ubiquitous in snack foods.
@@thecatherd It really sucks. I know people with (thank goodness) lighter peanut allergies, gotta stay alert of what you eat all of the time.
It can be annoying enough even having a mild allergy - can't imagine how it is having a life-threatening one. People, for whatever reason, don't take nut allergies very seriously outside of schools and daycares - it's almost like they've gone out of fashion (meanwhile vegan/gf/paleo/etc diets have had the unfortunate side effects of increasing the prevalence of undisclosed nuts in restaurant meals, because the removed ingredients are almost always replaced with nuts). My extended family often forgets I have a tree nut allergy and will serve nut-containing cakes at gatherings I'm at without offering anything else, or assumes I've somehow grown out of my allergy. I wish I had, but apparently people don't grow out of nut allergies. My immediate family don't do that - they eat nuts around me which is fine, I'm not allergic enough for that to cause concern. My wife is about the only person I've ever met who is so sensitive to my allergy that she feels bad eating nut-containing things around me because I'll miss out. She saves the nut ice creams and nut chocolates and nut baked goods for when I'm not around.
Interesting aside - the Magnum Gold Caramel Billionaire is nut free, but it's pecan *flavoured*. After checking the ingredients list very carefully and realising it didn't actually contain any nuts, I gave it a go. I can't say how authentic the flavour is because I've never eaten a real pecan, but it's interesting having a nut flavoured product that doesn't contain any nuts.
... it was a hot day in San Diego, detective Nut Luncheon collapsed into his familiar shabby chair. He couldn't get that Shrimp dame out of his head...
Interesting! I've never heard of this before and now I wanna try it
Mike & co. thanks for more tinned temptations. This was fascinating to me. Shame by old body doesn't tolerate nuts anymore, I would have enjoyed trying it to see what I could do with it. All the best JIM Oaxaca, Mexico
I am a veggie & this looks delicious 😋
Poor sod
@@cozza819 not as poor as the animals getting killed for a bacon sandwich :)
I recommend it. The hardest bit is getting it out of the tin. Then you can slice it to use in sandwiches with pickle, or cube it and use it in salads, fry it in slices as Shrimp does, or cube it and use it in stews and curries. It’s brilliant!
@@leuchtfeuer8999 Let it go. Bacon is as important as water and air. It's a lost battle my friend.
Almost thought you were actually going to have a meal without any black pepper - well baited.
I like how unbiased and unpretentious you are with veg/ vegan food. I recently gave up meat so it gives me a good excuse to go back and watch older videos 😎😎
That sounds like a great idea, I love all things nuts. The pricing and nutrition numbers look good as well. I would definitely make this a regular thing for myself if it were available.
If you live near a Holland and Barrett's they will likely sell it.
As kids we often ate date nut bread from a can. Opened the can like you did. Loved it. Doesn’t seem to be available here in the US.
You truly are the Bob Ross of English life and weird stuff in a can.
You had me sold until you said "lacking those little bits of gristle and bone" - they're my favourite bits.
Thats a positive for most people though lol
B A R O S A
I suppose that they could put tiny bits of solid peanut in there to simulate it, but why…
@@DragonWinter36 I feel like a better analogue would be little bits of peanut shells and skin.
never noticed them. but probably will now...
"what're you doin today?"
"Nut luncheon.."
Seems, from how you describe, to be akin to firm tofu.
Not quite, it's much firmer than even extra firm tofu to the touch but also it has no flexible structure really unless you cut a very very thin slice, like Shrimp did off the can lid, it's much less pliable.
It's still very delicious but I wouldn't say it's much like tofu, texture-wise.
Very entertaining video as always! These always make my day better :)
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HIM GOING 'PANT LIKE A DOG PANT LIKE A DOG YOU'RE DOING REALLY WELL' WHILE FORCING NUT LUNCHEON OUT OF A CAN . LITERALLY WHAT
I guess he was present at the birth of his children. A bit of Atomic Shrimp Lamaze class. :D
He was helping the can give birth to a nut luncheon log...what else was he supposed to do?
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T READ ALL THE COMMENTS, THAT'S WHY!!!
I was wondering what Atomic Shrimp would say if he was pooping. Now I know.
How does the nut luncheon have more kcal with less fats, less carbohydrates and less Protein?
That seems weird to me.
The calorie count includes calories, wich are not digestible for humans, like these out of fibre. It is more like a "mechanical value", not a nutricional value. At least, that is what i learned back then in Uni...
Battery acid
@@alexanderbusch8014 does that apply to the meat versions too? or just the nut one?
Just compared the nutritional values and the nut luncheon actually has less calories.
Tulip pork luncheon meat: 330cal/100g and 14g protein
Granovita nut luncheon: 208cal/100g and 10,2g protein

Hundreds of people who buy it do the same.
I do like the term 'nut meat from a can' though.
