How accurate is this?

These are prepared swallows, made with water, not the dry flour. Many sites quote the dry flour's value for the swallow on your plate, which overstates a wrap several times over.

Figures come from a study that weighed real portions on Nigerian adults' plates in Ibadan (Sanusi and Olurin, 2012), USDA FoodData Central and the FAO/INFOODS West African food composition table, combined at standard recipe ratios where a dish needed it. They are estimates for a typical home-cooked portion, not lab results for your plate.
