Overview
A clear explanation of the value and what it means.
The reviewed entry for salted, dry-roasted sunflower kernels lists 1.20 g of water, 582 kcal, 19.33 g of protein and 49.80 g of fat per 100 g. These values apply to the kernels, without shells.
Answer
Use the weight of the kernels you eat. Do not include the shells in your portion weight.
- Shelled kernels and seeds in their shells have different edible weights.
- Raw and roasted seeds use separate nutrition entries.
- Check the full entry description when calculating salt or calories.
How it is calculated
The formula or method behind the calculation.
For a 30 g portion, multiply each value by 0.3. Keep salted and unsalted entries separate when calculating sodium.
FATSL leaves the result unavailable if an input is missing or a zero value would require division by zero.
Example
A worked example using a food in the FATSL reference guide.
Use the nutrition label for the specific pack when available. Roasting, added salt and seed variety can change its composition.
