I posted the info from my package the other day, but it was
inconclusive because the numbers were so out of whack (A 12oz
package contained 5 servings of 12oz each !?!)

I would think the carb count would be closer to 10-15 per wrapper
(assuming a 10" square or round wrapper. IIRC, rice is pretty high
up there.
