Food ingredients

petitechisa

Hello, I'm new

I've been enjoying Cronometer web and android and would like to know how to find ingredients in foods, like 'hummus, home prepared' - it gives calories and nutrients but I cannot find the ingredient list. Is it made with olive oil? The difference of adding olive oil to tahini and chickpeas makes a big difference.

Are the ingredients listed for foods?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Hello @petitechisa ,

Unfortunately, the NCC does not provide the recipe ingredients for prepared foods like Hummus, Homemade. They do their best to give the nutrient values for the "average" method of preparation (in the US).

These prepared foods are a great option, if you are not sure of the preparation of the food you ate and are looking for an estimate.

If you are looking for more accurate nutrition information for your scrambled egg, or omelet you could create a custom recipe instead and record the amounts of the ingredients that you used.
