Nutrition values

Values for an amount you choose

Nutrition is entered for an amount of the ingredient: 100 g by default, 100 ml for a liquid, ounces on the US unit system. Copy calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates from the back of the mascarpone tub. Fibre is optional. The split between the three shows beside the fields. Every recipe using the ingredient picks the values up at once.

• Calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates
• Fibre as an optional field
• Per 100 g, 100 ml or ounces

The built-in food library

“Select from dictionary” opens a search with the ingredient’s name already typed in. Pick an entry and its figures land per 100 g. They are typical values for a generic product, and the sheet says so. Names are held in English, Ukrainian, Polish and Russian. A search matches any of them, whatever language the app runs in.

When a recipe can use them

Values alone are not always enough. The library marks an ingredient whose nutrition is missing. It also marks one whose values cannot be reached from the unit a recipe uses. Calories per 100 g cannot count vanilla measured in pods. Tap the warning to see which of the two it is.
