I believe that this is true for any of the canned asparagus items. Hope that this clears it up a bit. I think that I can back into it by checking the nutrition information per ounce and comparing it to "1 can 300x407". Thank you.
I see what it is now. It is about 400 grams in weight. The "1 can 300x407" numbers are close to 4 x the 100 gram numbers.

I see what you mean! I find it odd, too. The way you're looking at it may be right. My first impression was that the numbers represented the size of the can.
If the asparagus is in spears, you could just count the number you eat, since there is a selection for "1 spear." If the asparagus is cut, you could pour off the liquid and measure the solids in a measuring cup.
It was to avoid problems like this that I finally bought my little digital scale! 
Sorry I can't be of any real help to you.  |
