this is the game of nutrition facts labels. someone enters the
nutrition facts from the label of a food product, and others guess what
it is. the winner gets to enter the next label.
this item is usually entered in enigma and linked to kitchen and
puzzles, but i'm breaking with tradition and entering it in kitchen
first.

Definitely not for diabetics! Are they normally eaten at 2 a.m.?

Depends on how picky you feel like being.

I would still like to know if it is allowed to enter items that are acquired
without a label, such as fresh produce or bulk foods. If we are going to have
a potluck, it would be nice to have a few more fruits and vegetables. The
public library has several volumes worth of food values in the reference
section, I think published by the USDA. (I don't recall seeing kelp in the
vegetable one, and most of them were titled things like: poultry, fish,
beef...). We could still required that someone actually have the food in
their kitchen before entering it.

I don't think there are a lot of rules to this thing, keesan.
Enter something fresh and unlabled and see how it goes.

I didn't know you were required to have the food - I thought you just had to
know the stats, from whatever source.

Hmm. Rather high in calories & fiber to be dried beans. Wrong iron/
calcium ratio to be a spud (though maybe with milk added...) Is this
a mixture, or a one-source food?

not a mixture, note that it advertises the iron and calcium, which makes it
somewhat different from other items in the same class

YES! That was obviously a well-thought-out guess. You are too modest.

No, no, no. I don't buy them in little cardboard boxes, but in 50 pound bags.
This was something more exotic.

sorry, no. This is 'the smallest grain in the world!'. Tiny X provides GIANT
SIZE nutrition! It's high in minerals and has more calcium than wheat or
barley... But if nobody can guess it in a week I will tell.
