How was the estimate calculated?
The serving’s GL is calculated from ingredient data. Confidence describes the evidence behind the calculation. Your blood sugar response may vary.
- plain Greek yoghurt, 10% fat · Value used in the model
- peeled onion · Value used in the model
- fresh peeled garlic · Value used in the model
- Tesco White Plain pita bread, 4 × 60 g · Comparison value
- raw white cabbage · Value used in the model
Documented small portions are omitted from this calculation. Their combined amount or documented upper bound is shown separately. This is a modeled ingredient estimate, not a measured meal response. Biological uncertainty has not been quantified.
Small portions omitted: 0.8 g available carbohydrate per serving.
