Per 100 g. Source: usda-sr-legacy #171671 — listed by USDA as “Cereals, corn grits, white, regular and quick, enriched, cooked with water, with salt”. Every number is traceable, every score recomputable. The score measures satiety per calorie. It is not a virtue scale, and no food here is forbidden. How the score works.
