Source and method
Nutrient values are from TACO, Tabela Brasileira de Composição de Alimentos, 4th edition (NEPA/UNICAMP, 2011; reproduction permitted with attribution), record 131: "Mandioca, farofa, temperada". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as TACO reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient TACO does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
TACO does not report added sugars. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the TACO record ↗
