Nutritional value table: Why cooked?

Why is cooked lentil (and not raw) in the nutritional value table? Article of soybean and pea have such tables of raw beans. (But article of lima bean has cooked, too.) It is confusing. Would not be better to have analogous, uniform tables? Ruwolf (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
