Do you ever look at nutrition labels? I often enjoy scanning the nutrition facts labels of food items while strolling through the grocery store aisles. I do this sometimes even if don’t need the item. Honestly, I’m just curious about the vitamins and health benefits various foods contain. I thought some of my readers might be interested, too. So, if you haven’t already noticed, I decided to add a nutrition facts label to the recipes I post.
Each label shows the amounts of the various nutrients the given recipe contains. But to further understand the contents of the label, I had to dig deeper. Read my latest post to find out why the labels were created in the first place. Also, you’ll learn what nutritional information each section of today’s version of the label provides.
