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 Laboratory Home Page (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp).
They are provided as a guideline and are appropriate for use in the
calculation of food aid rations. Please note: these values may or may
not meet the exact specifications of the USDA Export Announcements to
Purchase for the P.L. 480 Program. The values for thiamin, riboflavin,
niacin, vitamin A, calcium and iron represent the minimum levels of
enrichment nutrients (converted to a 100 g basis) as listed in
