Overview
Commodity-level pages describe why specific ingredients accumulate specific metals, typical concentration ranges by source and variety, processing effects, and mitigation options. Each page carries a structured contamination profile in frontmatter that the future consumer app will consume directly. Ingredient-level values belong on these pages; finished-product values belong on product-category pages.
Ingredients by category
Pages are grouped by commodity type and listed alphabetically within each group. The count after each entry is how many curated sources currently reference that ingredient — a low or zero count marks an evidence gap, not an error.
