Template talk:Nutrient contents of common foods

Hi! Anyone reading this page? I did look at this template a bit and dont think that values match, it is a big job to fix so I will warn here and if anyone have any issues please respond here.

  1. The value of soybean and rice looks wrong for minerals at least, I'm guessing, I compared egg and it matches this link perfectly http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/111/2 but soybean is very different from the equivalent http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2621/2 mg template say 126, web 16, copper template 83%, link 6% and so on.
  2. secondly I wonder f the selection, I try to find data on Pigeon pea and cant find it, only seeds, why don't we have meat/beef or Liver/offal? Why have Dill? it is not really something that you eat a lot of? and what is wheat? I mean how do you eat wheat? Do we? I though we eat flour or bread or something, but wheat? Comments?

Anyway this is a daunting task, to clean this up, I will try but with my current editing speed it will take a lot of time, please comment here if you have any concerns!

OK I found out a few things, 1) We eat the soybean seeds, not the soybean as my link above says so wrong there. BUT in this temples we show uncooked food, and we claim that cooking reduces the nutrient the same, but if we compare a uncooked soybean raw (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-products/4375/2) we have 126% Manganese, but if it is cooked (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2624/2) it contains 35%, while an egg changes its values almost nothing (Manganese was a bad example for egg, but other nutrients have similar change). So I recommend that we change this chart to show cooked food! Comments?

Layout

[edit]

I have to say, I don't like the default layout of this template. The caption (starting with "Ch. = Choline...") is visible while the table is collapsed. The reader is presented with this large block of text that appears to have no context at all - it is not clear what it all is referring to until the reader notices the "show" button, realizes that they have to click on it, and then sees the table content. Can other options be considered? At the very least, can this caption be incorporated into the collapsible portion of the template? Deli nk (talk) 15:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
