How we calculate it

Each ingredient's composition comes from USDA SR28 (public domain), per 100 g edible portion, with the exact table row listed under each line. The recipe grams are our own estimate: that is why every value carries a range instead of a single number. Nobody knows exactly what your plate weighed, and we would rather say so.
