Wrong value in Chickpeas raw

Armoreska

Specifically: Chickpeas, Garbanzo Beans, Bengal/Golden Gram, Raw
It says 21mg manganese per 100g, but I think the point is placed wrong and it's supposed to be 2.1mg

maybe, but in my experience most plant food are very high in manganese....

of course that does seem high and remind me of popeye and, him eating spinach! (because it was a reporting mistake about how much iron it had in it, because of a decimal point)...email the USDA, it does appear that cooked bengal gram, has closer to 2.1...which i think was the same mistake as the iron in spinach....

I posted in 'begin here' with one about Casimir Funk, too illustrate what, when i first started using good old v0.9.6 back in 2010, Aaron drilled into my head...this is all so much guessing! and in v0.9.9, it says that they aren't allowed to change the database themselves, so you'd have to take it up with the usda....

but from what i see you are probably right, and i'd say if it bothers you, use cooked..or make a custom food out of a copy....

If you View/Edit the entry in the Foods tab, you can select "Report Issue" and... report the issue. Personally I prefer the food entries from the NCCDB and USDA databases.

i was going to say that you could compare cooked to dry water weight and edit a copy...But like i said it's out of CRON-O-meter's hands, according to licensing agreement with using the USDA db... you can't edit it, so you'd have to email them....or make a copy....

Nah, I think it's correct but it's for the dry version:

16056, Chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, raw
https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/303676

That one matches the Canadian data.

The one being referenced at http://foods-high-in.net is likely referencing one of the versions that are not dehydrated (or one that's been rehydrated). Look at the moisture content...
