Cuttlefish fillet

Sepiidae · Seafood

Cuttlefish is a marine mollusc with firm, mild white flesh that turns tender when cooked quickly or braised slowly. It provides lean, high-quality protein along with the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which contribute to the normal function of the heart. Sear or grill it briefly over high heat, or stew it gently in its own ink with tomato and aromatics.

Polyols

SorbitolNot a source

Source: Not a source of sorbitol or excess fructose (structural classification)

What this means

This is cuttlefish fillet's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.

Sugars

Total fructoseNot yet analysed

Excess fructoseNot a source

Source: Not a source of excess fructose (structural classification); total fructose not measured

What this means

These are cuttlefish fillet's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
