Shakshuka-Style Eggs with Capsicum: where the numbers come from

Each ingredient is matched to a record in the Australian food-composition data, that record's per-100 g values are scaled to the weight the recipe uses, the results are added, and the total is divided by 2 servings. This page shows all of it, so the estimate can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Oxalate

87 mg per serving (174 mg for the whole recipe, divided by 2). This comes from the Oxalosis and Hyperoxaluria Foundation list rather than the Australian composition data above, which does not carry oxalate.

Smoked Paprika
The OHF lists paprika without distinguishing smoked, so the plain figure is used.

Oxalate in a plant moves with variety, ripeness, soil and cooking, and what you absorb depends on the calcium eaten in the same meal rather than on the figure alone. The full table and what it is worth.

Not counted

These lines contribute nothing to the figures above, because they carry no weight or no composition match. Finishing salt and pepper added to taste are deliberately excluded: the amount is the cook's, so counting it would be inventing a number.

  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Why these records

Where a generic database item cannot represent an ingredient exactly, the choice is recorded with the ingredient rather than left to inference.

Olive Oil
Measured from the bottle, plain or extra-virgin; AUSNUT has a single olive oil record and the ledger key is carried over verbatim.
Onion
Weighed raw and peeled before it is softened in the pan; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Capsicum
Weighed raw, whether diced or roasted; red capsicum record used. Consolidated from a duplicate capsicum record that mapped to the same AUSNUT food.
Garlic
Weighed or counted as raw peeled cloves before cooking; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Ground Cumin
Measured dry from the jar; the ground cumin seed record matches the ledger canonical for cumin.
Smoked Paprika
AUSNUT has no smoked paprika record, so the ground dried paprika record is used; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
No-Added-Salt Canned Tomatoes
Ingredient name explicitly specifies no added salt, matching this record exactly; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Egg
Whole eggs counted or weighed raw without shell before cooking; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Flat Leaf Parsley
Weighed raw as fresh leaves for finishing; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Wholegrain Bread
Weighed as bought to serve alongside; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
Salt
Weighed or added to taste from the packet; iodised table salt matches the fine salt the recipes specify, and the ledger key is carried over verbatim.

What this is and is not

These figures match the ones shown on the recipe page exactly, because both come from this same arithmetic.

A composition database gives representative values for a food, not an analysis of your tin, your loaf or your cut of meat. Brands differ, produce varies, and yields change with how long something cooked and how hard it was drained. Treat every figure here as an estimate of the right order rather than a measurement, and where a number matters clinically, take it to whoever is managing your care. CERNERE publishes the working so it can be argued with, not to imply a precision food does not have.
