How it's calculated

Fiber = Sum of (Ingredient Mass in g × Dietary Fiber per 100g ÷ 100)

We do the math at full precision and only round the final answer, so the numbers you see are as close as kitchen measurements allow. The assumptions and limits are listed alongside.

Worked example

Scenario: 1 cup rolled oats (9.5g fiber) + 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (3.9g fiber).

InputsOats + Walnuts

Calculation9.5 + 3.9 = 13.4g fiber

Result13.4g dietary fiber
