More in the grain
The food-composition tables measure more than the main nutrients. These compounds are in the tables for at least one grain; their explainers are still being written, so this page gives only the values, exactly as printed.

Each grain has ONE source, named on its page: IFCT = Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR-NIN) with its food code; USDA FDC; FAO WAFCT 2019; NIN 2007 via ICAR-IIMR. Values exactly as printed, not converted — tables differ in method, so compare within a source. Published values for the grain, not a laboratory test of our packs.
Vitamin D2 in plant foods: IFCT 2017 says it is the first table to publish these values.
