  1. Hi, thank you for sharing!! I have a question! for example pistachios contain sugars, do we need to consinder that amount for POD and PAC? and if yes how we can do the calculations??

    1. You should account for all sugars in the recipe of course.
      If you use a sweetened pistachio paste with more sugar you need to account for that.
      If you use the calculator use the pistachio in the ingredients or if you have a sweetened paste you can add it yourself.
