Growing meat with the meat grinder.

[Bdan720]

Adding 'minced meat' to the meat Grinder keeps adding nutrients to the output mince meat. Potentially exploitable?

It stops growing at 40 Nutrients.

Is the nutrient amount caused by quality increase?

[Bdan720]

Does Quality affect nutrient amount? Anyway, yes. Quality also increases when grinding mince meat multiple times.

Tried this, issue is minced meat is "any meat" for mincing meat recipe and recipe time is smallest possible at 1 minute. Recipe items do not inherit properties of their components and are randomized with what i am guessing a modifier from your assosciated skill. Having a modifier for component quality affecting recipe result would stop this and incentivise using better quality ingredients in crafting, issue would be if it was always negative to do so which would make long crafting chains result in progressively worse items unless crafting skill can counteract the modifier which then would result in stuff getting better as you have a long crafting chain.

Since you can just re-mince meat you can reset the durabillity, reroll the quality and through that quality get better nutrition. Most of that is probably minor because eating raw meat is bad for health and crafting anything with it will just make it roll worse. If the recipe gives cooking experience you could really slowly grind cooking with this but from me doing it this was not worth it and didnt seem to be a problem.
