The vitamins is probably missing data-- Vitamin C is biochemically critical, so a plant would have some amount of it.
- bane 13y agoI checked, all the sources I found for it list 0.00mg of Vit C for any amount of Quinoa and .50mcg of Vitamin A per 100g.
- monkeyspaw 13y agoMaybe I'm going cross eyed from a long day, but looking at that result... how can Quaker oatmeal have 2g of protein and be 5% USRDA, while quinoa has 4g of protein yet 7% USRDA? Shouldn't that be 10% USRDA for quinoa?
- scythe 13y agoRounding. The RDA is 50 grams. So oatmeal's 2g is closer to 2.5g and quinoa's 4g is closer to 3.5g. At least that'd be my guess.
- ihaveajob 13y agoProbably rounding issues, maybe intentional. Food vendors are known to fudge numbers in the low digits, legally, which result in problems like this when you extrapolate.
