- cholesterol
- carbohydrates
- proteins
- lipids
- dietary fiber
- sugar
- energy content (kilocalories)
How is the nutritional information valued in each recipe?
Each of our ingredients is linked to a reliable database called ESHA, which is based on the latest nutritional data from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).What does it mean that the information is based on a 2000 kilocalorie diet?
It means that those are the kilocalories that an average person should consume per day to carry out the main functions needed by the body and the energy needed to stay healthy and perform all the activities we do every day.*How to read the nutritional information "Label"?
The percentages that appear in each nutrient represent the percentage that the recipe provides compared to the recommended daily intake of each nutrient.
Energy content
It is the amount that a food provides you with the total energy you need per day for the metabolic processes that your body needs and the energy you need to burn during the day to function.
Carbohydrates
They are nutrients whose main function is to provide energy to the body, mainly to the brain and nervous system. They include sugars, starches, and fiber. Starches are present in cereals (bread, tortillas, rice, corn, etc.), legumes, potatoes, jicama, among others.
Sugars
They are present in fruits (fructose), milk (lactose), white sugar (sucrose), honey (glucose + fructose), among others. Simple or monosaccharide sugars (glucose, fructose, and galactose) are absorbed in the intestine without the need for previous digestion, so they are a very quick source of energy, while complex sugars must be transformed into simple sugars to be assimilated (such as starches).
dietary fiber
It is present in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. They are such complex and resistant molecules that we are unable to digest them, and they reach the large intestine without being assimilated. It serves to cleanse the large and small intestine.
Proteins
They are essential for the body as they are needed for repair and maintenance. They are found in animal foods such as meat, dairy products, poultry, fish, eggs, and also in some plant sources such as beans, legumes, peanut butter, and certain grains like wheat germ.
Lipids or Fats
They are present in vegetable oils (olive, corn, sunflower, peanut) which are unsaturated fatty acids, and in animal fats (bacon, butter, lard), which are rich in saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids are more difficult for the body to use as they are difficult to break down into smaller ones, so they can sometimes accumulate and form plaques inside the arteries, causing them to clog.
Cholesterol
It is an essential substance in metabolism, naturally present in all parts of the body, and a certain amount of cholesterol is needed to function properly. Elevated cholesterol levels increase the risk of heart disease.Make the most of this tool!
