Hi research gurus
I would greatly appreciate your input, as I'm not sure what the best solution is & which site has the most accurate data.
I want to document which foods have the highest source of ellagic acid & put an ellagic acid content value on it?
I don't mind eating 25g of walnuts daily, but I don't want to be faced with 1kg! Where is the best place to access such information? Is wiki a solution or should I really be looking elsewhere? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellagic_acid
Any input to help me finalise results would be wonderfully welcome - thank you! It's all food for thought! 😉

It's quite niche. That Wikipedia data seems to be taken from a food science review attached to a credible journal which has been cited a reasonable number of times, so you should be safe to assume its correct. People don't often add incorrect data to Wikipedia, especially not on niche pages like that.

it's grow your own & due to my previous raspberry experience, no matter if you cover them, the wildlife decimate them no matter what!
I now have a complete & utter spanner in the works and am more confused than ever - any ideas anyone? Dr Thivi Maruthappu - UK's 1st dual qualified dermatologist & nutritionist published Skinfood & her only ref to ellagic acid recommendations in her book is walnuts (without referencing where this data comes from) - so I thought let's look at values elsewhere - then when I start googling it, there's even more conflicting & confusing info on values out there?!! so much more about you need to eat walnuts in their skins (not that I've ever seen them without their skins?) and such differing values!! There's even incredible initial research showing ellagic acid could poss help covid - & it being a postbiotic?! Wowsers!!
*** So we seriously need to ensure we get accurate food values!! *** Help anyone - how do we actually do this or should I do a new post? Thank you so much for your time!! x
