Ingredient sheet

What it is

The ingredient sheet is the window that opens when you click any row in the catalog. It gathers all of an ingredient's technical information across three tabs. It is a read-only sheet: it shows the data, but there are no buttons to edit or save it.

How to get there

From the ingredient catalog, click a row or its View → link. The same sheet also appears inside the recipe editor and the costs module.

Sheet header

At the top of the sheet you'll see:

• The ingredient's name.
• A context line with category · subcategory · brand.
• The base tag when it's a system base ingredient.

Below that, three tabs: Nutrition Facts, Units / Conversions, and Cost Management. The sheet opens on the first one by default.

Nutrition Facts tab

Table per 100 g

Values are always shown per 100 g of product, in this row order:

• Water
• Carbohydrates
• Total fat
  • Fiber
  • Saturated fat
  • Sugars
  • Cocoa butter (only when applicable)
• Protein
• Salt
• Energy (kcal)

The indented rows (fiber, saturated fat, sugars, and, when applicable, cocoa butter) appear grouped under Total fat.

Charts

• Macronutrient distribution — a donut chart with Water, Protein, Carbohydrates, and Other (each with its percentage) and the kcal in the center.
• Detailed nutrient distribution — a bar chart (in g per 100 g) with bars sorted from highest to lowest amount, showing only the nutrients that have a value (cocoa butter only when applicable, carbohydrates, saturated, protein, fiber, water, and salt). The exact order therefore depends on each ingredient's data.

EU-14 allergens

A block with the declared allergens, shown as tags. See EU-14 allergens. If the ingredient declares none, you'll see "No EU-14 allergens declared.".

Confidence note

When the sheet has been AI-enriched, a note appears indicating the confidence level of the data. See Confidence level.

Units / Conversions tab

Physical properties

• The ingredient's Base unit.
• Base ingredient (Yes / No).
• Density (in g/ml), when declared.
• Weight per unit (in g), when declared.

Quick conversions

Under the Quick conversions heading, the sheet states "For volume ↔ weight conversions using the recorded density.". When a density is declared, it computes the conversion of 1 ml, 100 ml, and 1 L to grams, so you can convert volumes to weight without a calculator. See Unit conversion.

If there is neither density nor weight per unit, you'll see "No conversions recorded for this ingredient.".

Cost Management tab

• Reference price — a guideline catalog price, in euros per kilo. It comes with the note: "Catalog reference price. You manage the actual price per supplier in the costs module.".
• Manage prices and suppliers — a link card that takes you to that ingredient's costs sheet, where you do set your real prices and suppliers. See Ingredient detail.

If there is no catalog price, you'll see "No reference price recorded.".

Why it matters

The quality of your nutrition information, your allergen labeling, and your technical sheet calculations depends directly on the quality of each ingredient sheet. When you use a recurring ingredient, check that it has a declared density and weight per unit; without them, quantities in ml or units can't be converted to grams accurately.
