“Not available” means an ingredient lacks complete data; it does not mean zero.

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.

Sources: USDA FoodData Central and reference product labels where needed. Brands differ.

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