No: blends-data is data for blends to use (not data that uses blends).
It's a directional relationship: blends need its data - blends data does
not "need" blends, ever - not always (depends) and not mostly
(recommends) but also not occationally (suggests). Instead, blends data
is _consumed_ by blends, i.e. gets processed by blends.
