I have just discovered that the brand of heavy whipping cream I drank this morning has considerably more carbs than other brands. The label looks the same in side by side comparison but once I added my extra servings, the carbs added up to double or more than some other brands.
Any suggestions for low carb HWC?
I have done this. I cut my evening vege out to compensate. I now read everything regardless of whether or not the packaging is familiar.
Here in Canada, we have Lactantia 35% HWC thatās 0 carbs per tablespoon. Not sure if that brand is available in other countries or not. The parent company is Parmalat - http://www.parmalat.com/en/
In the US, it appears the only products they offer are cheeses. (will undoubtedly vary around the world).
Iām in the northwest and your in the southwest so you might be able to find this easily. It is what I use.
This just goes to show how you have to read every label.
I got to the checkout the other day and saw the shredded mozerella I was buying had 2g of carbs per serving. I set them aside and had to go back again to find one with less.
Itās easy to do, especially if weve used the food before and begin to think of it as Keto friendly in general, so we arenāt as diligent on checking the labels.
Yesš
And this HWC does NOT include Carrageenan ( extracted from red seaweed )
Many other HWC doā¦like I am talking to you my BFFā¦Redi Canned Whipš
Studies show Carrageenan can be linked to inflammation
Wow, thank you for this information. Are there other ingredients I should be wary of?
I live in Northern Virginia and do most of my grocery shopping at the Fort Belvoir commissary. I have found Dairy Maid Dairy Heavy Whipping Cream there, quite by accident, but it is the BEST! 40% Butterfat and 0 carbs.
Unless there is something added to it, HWC is HWC is HWC. BRAND names are meaningless. Most of them will manipulate the serving size such that they can say āzero carbsā and be legal saying it. But HWC has some carbs, there is no magic. A cup is going to have somewhere between 6g and 7g of carbs. It can vary slightly depending on the actual fat content, but it is gonna have carbs. Telling yourself otherwise is just fooling yourself. Sorry.
Trader Joeās has a Heavy Cream (not HWC) and it has no carbs listed on the label.
Iām in the Midwest and we found Hiland dairy in a little jug has just cream. It even has the thick fat on the top when you open it. But their HWC in the carton has carrageenan in it.
The brand I use says 4% carbs but it taste more than that.
I have seen very liquid HWC and also there are brands which are more paste like where you have to squeeze the hard paper container to make the HWC flows out.
This is the same one I use (Organic Valley), or if I know Iāll be going through a lot of it, I spring for the Kalona Supernatural stuff (comes in quarts). I love how they both have a layer of thickened cream (paste, almost) right under the cap when you open them. Yum!
The way they get away with this is by using such a small serving size (maybe 1T) that the amount of carb is less than .5 grams, in which case they can call it 0. The actual cream does have some carbs in it ā¦ unless itās butter. 
Here we go again with this golden oldie. Like @Bellyman said, HWC is HWC. Itās more important to know if itās 30%, 35%, 40%, or 45% cream. The higher the cream fat, the lower the compounded carbs. Sometimes, dairy processors will literally water down a 60% ādouble creamā to 40% to get that āzero carbā on the label. No matter, if you use enough of it, itāll add carbs in much the same way cheeseāor any other dairyāwill. And if youāre buying HWC that has any other ingredient in it, youāre doing it wrongā¦
Yes, Iām aware of that. Most brands Iāve tried were fine. There was just one brand (Iāve forgotten which one now) that listed approximately the same nutritional percentages and ingredients as all the other brands but when I got home and delved deeper, I discovered āhiddenā carbohydrates. I am hoping to avoid making the same mistake in the future, as I am on an extremely limited budget and cannot afford to make such mistakes.
This is what I love about this forum. Thanks to everyone here, my discomfort and newbie mistakes have really been minimal.
