- For a thicker dip, reserve part of the water until the final blend.
Storage
Refrigerate promptly at 4°C or colder and use within 3 days.
Nutrition & yield
Reference values for the written quantities. Results vary with products, preparation and any oil or marinade that is discarded.
Weigh the finished food without its container to calculate portion weight and values per 100 g. Weight does not correct for nutrient losses during cooking.

How are these values calculated?
Reference ingredient values are multiplied by their weights, summed, then divided by the serving count. These are ingredient-composition estimates, not laboratory analysis of the dish. Cooking losses and vitamin/mineral retention have not been measured. Ingredient weight may include preparation liquids and is not finished yield.

A reference model; use your product label and measured finished yield for closer estimates.
