In order to get an idea how a recipe changes depending on the ingredients, it is necessary to have an idea on the distribution of the nutritional values. Once we have an idea of the distribution, we can estimate the deviations for each nutrient of an ingredient.

From a theoretical point of view we expect that each nutrient follows a beta distribution. The reason for this, is that the values are bounded on [0,1]. For values that are far enough away from 0 and 1, we probably will have a gaussian distribution. (there are already some wiki-pages on this. which?).

This page will do some more analysis on the distributions. For this the clean-up category of [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/category/almonds Almonds] will be used.
