Most of these files are 44 KB to 19 MB in size. It is a modern file type. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, programVersion, nutrientNode, <data program="FoodProSQL", ingredient commonName, createDate="03/19/1999" description="apple, fresh, small, CookTemperature="" CookTime="", HACCPHeadingLevel and recipe CookMethod. The following filename is common: CommonRecipes.exl or ArmedForcesRecipes.exl. These files are attributed to ethnic, vegetarian, alimentos and mexicanos.
5% of all EXL files are based on the zip format, multiple files are compressed and combined into one EXL file. Such a ZIP file contains 1 to 22 files. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. EXL files can be up to 67 KB in size, but are often around 1 KB - 67 KB.
