How to read this data
The composition reference gives amounts per 100 g of the edible part, in the form of the food indicated by its name. A raw version is not equivalent to the same mass already cooked: water, preparation, salt, oil and fillings can change the results.
A zero value in the catalog does not guarantee absolute absence of the nutrient. Darwin's numbers are a reference reading and do not replace the product packaging or an individual nutritional assessment.
