Recalculated linearly from 100 g. The household measure was registered in Darwin; it is not an amount recommended for you nor an official standardized measure from TACO.
What this food carries
- Iron recorded: 5.4 mg per 100 g.
The catalog records a numeric value of zero for vitamin A, vitamin B12. This does not prove absolute absence nor mean that all brands and preparation methods have the same composition.

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.
