Hi all,

Can someone explain what "ash" is? The foods in the USDA database all have
an "ash" component. What is that? It sounds like it's some kind of
by-product of the analysis process. Is it usable by the body? Do I "count"
it when I'm figuring percent of calories or nutrients on a dry weight basis?

TIA!
