Total sodium much much higher than individual items totals

comanchesue

I make a black bean quinoa salad and the sodium total for the entire recipe is 2427. Not possible. I searched the individual items and totaled them separately and get 50.96 mg of sodium. Is there a way to show the recipe?

You can go the "Foods" tab to find your recipe there, or add the recipe to your diary and right click to View/Edit to go straight to the edit tab. I would click on the individual ingredient in the recipe to find out which one/s are contributing to all that sodium.

I can bring up the recipe, but clicking on the individual ingredient doesn't bring up individual info. I know that the total sodium amount is not correct. Is there a way to send the recipe so you can see what I mean?

Oh you're right. In which case, try adding your recipe to your diary and right click to select "Explode Recipe". You should be able to view individual ingredients from there.

Thanks!
