I make and sell Rosella products at local markets. As a requirement of the food standards of Australia/New Zealand, I have to include the nutritional values of Rosella 'fruit'. I have not been able to find this list anywhere. Can anyone help, please? (Before I pull ALL of my hair out) This is what is required as follows; Energy: kJ Protein: g Total fat: g Saturated fat: g Carbohydrate: g Sugars: g Sodium: mg

Try the USDA (US Dept of Ag) or FDA (US food & drug admin). I recall reading a PDF doc from them a few years back that listed all that info for various foods. It had caloric, fat, protein & mineral composition of a large number of food items. Rosella (or US name equivalent) may be amongst them.
