Accuracy note: Macro values represent averages across measured samples; individual items may vary ±5–10% depending on brand, farming method, and preparation technique. For clinical nutrition, consult a registered dietitian.

Update policy: Macro values are reviewed quarterly against USDA FoodData Central updates. Page last verified: 2026.
