Nutritive Values (per 100 g)
These are average values, taken from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA:ARS) 1998 USDA
Nutrient Database, Release 12, Laboratory Home Page (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp).
These nutrient values are provided as a guide for use in the
calculation of food aid rations; users should realize food aid may vary
from these exact nutrient values. The values for thiamin, riboflavin,
niacin, vitamin A, calcium and iron represent the total of the natural
values plus the minimum specification (converted to a 100 g basis). NOTE:
The values do not contain nutrients from Wheat Protein Concentrate;
values for water, energy, protein, lipids, carbohydrates, and fiber
were estimated.
