Ash refers to the inorganic mineral content that remains after a food or other organic material has been combusted at high temperatures. It represents the minerals present in the food, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, and others. Ash content is an important factor in determining the overall nutritional composition of foods.
Ash in the context of nutrition refers to the inorganic mineral content left behind after food is completely burned. It does not have one specific direct function in the body, but it provides insight into the total mineral content of the food.
Ash is not a nutrient you need to consume in specific amounts. It represents the total mineral content remaining after food is completely burned. Instead of focusing on the ash content in your diet, it is more important to ensure you meet your daily requirements for specific minerals.
