Nutrition / nutrition | | German term or phrase: Nährmittel | | From the same list of foods contributing to sugar consumption. I remember that things like corn starch or vanilla sugar (all those dry baking ingredients belonged into that category, but what is the correct English/American term? |
| | | cereal products | Explanation:
My Duden Universalwörterbuch has:
Nährstoff = für Aufbau und Erhaltung von Organismen notwendiger Stoff
This would be nutrient, though I don’t think this is what is meant here.
Nährmittel = aus Getreide gewonnene Produkte außer Mehl (z.B. Grieß, Haferflocken, Teigwaren, Puddingpulver)
Another definition of Nährmittel includes flour:
Zu der Gruppe der Nährmittel zählen (DGE 2000):
Weizenmehl: Feinmehl, Vollkornmehl
Reis: Reis geschält, ungeschält
Getreidekörner: Weizen, Hirse, Mais, Gerste, Grünkern
Sonstige Getreideerzeugnisse: Weizenflocken, -grieß, -schrot, -kleie, Haferflocken, Maisgrieß, Grünkernschrot
Teigwaren: Eier-, Vollkornteigwaren, Teigwaren aus Hartweizengrieß
Sonstige Nährmittel: Weizen-, Maisstärke, Müsli, Puffreis, Pudding-,
Soßenpulver, Instantsuppen

To Narasimhan:
Yes, I was surprised to get the points as much as you were! My answer was merely intended to add further explanation to your perfectly correct answer. Reading perhaps between the lines, as well as the other answers given, I felt that an authoritative definition of Nährmittel was needed (also to distinguish it from Nährstoff, Nahrungsmittel) to back up the translation. Unfortunately, there is never enough room in the agree/disagree box for lengthy comments.
On a more general note, it is not uncommon for an asker to be faced with several almost identical answers, and for the first of these answers NOT to be picked. I suppose it does come down to which answer the asker finds \'most helpful\', and this can depend not only on the translation given but also on how convincing the explanation is and any references given.
Also, have a look through the forum discussion topics - I\'m sure this problem has been brought up before.
