About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (14 samples purchased from take-away outlets). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Vegetable Dishes Supplement, 1992.
