White Bean Purée with Slow-Roasted Tomatoes: 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
205 mg per serving (411 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.

- Water
- Tap water carries no oxalate: oxalate is a plant metabolite and drinking water is not a plant.
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.
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Weighed raw whole or halved before roasting; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
- 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.
- Dried Oregano
- Weighed dry from the jar in 1-3 g amounts; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
- White Beans
- Recipe lines say drained no-added-salt white beans, weighed from the can; the haricot or cannellini canned drained record matches the record used for white beans.
- Tahini
- Spooned from the jar as an optional enrichment; the single tahini record matches the record used for this ingredient.
- Garlic
- Weighed or counted as raw peeled cloves before cooking; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
- Lemon Juice
- Measured as squeezed juice, not whole fruit; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
- Water
- Contributes no energy or nutrients but mapped honestly rather than skipped; tap water is what the recipes use, and the ledger left this unkeyed.
- Soft Bread
- Recipe lines say soft white sandwich bread with crusts removed, weighed as bought; the commercial white bread record is used rather than the wholemeal record that serves wholegrain-bread.
- Flat Leaf Parsley
- Weighed raw as fresh leaves for finishing; ledger key carried over verbatim from the published book.
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.
