Nutritional Information

How we analyze the nutritional value of our recipes

  • Nutritional analyses are done with The Food Processor (ESHA Research) software or are provided by food manufacturers. Due to variations in ingredients and measurements, values are approximations.
  • Because nutrient calculations are estimates, numbers are rounded according to the software program and the FDA’s established rounding rules for product labels.
  • Nutrients are listed “per serving.” If there is a range of servings, the larger number is used.
  • Analyses do not include optional ingredients, garnishes, fat used to grease pans, or accompaniments (unless amounts are given).
  • If salt and pepper are recommended as “season to taste,” they are not included in the analysis.
  • Where there is a range for the amount of an ingredient, the smaller quantity or amount is used.
  • Broth and stock are assumed to be salted, unless otherwise stated.
  • For homemade broth or stock, the lab-analyzed value of a similar product will be used.
  • Butter is considered salted, unless otherwise specified.
  • For marinades, unless a pre- and post-weight is given, 10% absorption is assumed.
  • Alcohol retention is calculated using data from research conducted by the University of Idaho, Washington State University, and the USDA Agricultural Research Service Nutrient Data Laboratory.
