Final Challenge : #ingredients using Inherit property in padding.

In the last challenge asked for " CSS Box model (how to)" video, I used "inherit" instead of a number of pixels. This showed the same visual results as the mock up.

#ingredients {
  background-color:#f3eeea;
  padding:inherit;
  border-radius:10px;
}

Reviewing what inherit means ," causes the element to take the computed value of the property from its parent element", would this mean that it is inheriting from the Main element?

You forgot to link your question to the challenge so we could look at the HTML part of the code. But if the element with id "ingredients" is a direct child of main, then "inherit" would indeed copy the value from the main element. Otherwise, it would inherit from the next element in its ancestry (the direct parent).
