Estimate for the modified recipe

Original recipe GL unavailable

The estimate applies to the ingredients, amounts and preparation described below.

Calculated GL · ≈ 15.95 / serving

Confidence · Low Some values or assumptions in the calculation are uncertain.

The estimate uses the ingredients and amounts in this version and the available source data. Small amounts of carbohydrate were left out of the calculation.

How was the estimate calculated?

This estimate applies only to the amounts and preparation details below. The original recipe nutrition is not a macro package for this version.

GI 28 is a meat and shallot dumpling comparator. Cabbage carbohydrate is counted before squeezing. About 0.38 g carbohydrate per serving from the dip is excluded. The study does not specify the test dumpling’s cooking method or wrapper proportion.

GI-unmatched available carbohydrate omitted, up to 0.4 g/serving. Its effect is not assumed to be zero.

Confidence: low. An ingredient-based estimate, not a measurement of the prepared meal.
