A food profile is a particular preparation in USDA’s SR Legacy reference dataset. A nutrient record is one reported food–nutrient amount, including reported zeros. These are not 142,336 health claims or clinical studies.
Source: April 2018 final SR Legacy. Imported October 15, 2026. Values are reference composition per 100 g edible portion, with available USDA household portions. Fresh, dried, cooked, salted and fortified forms remain distinct; missing values remain missing.
Plant-focused groups include herbs and spices, fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds, legumes, grains and pasta. Some prepared products contain other ingredients. Color tags are an editorial guide to food families and appearance; actual cultivars and preparations vary.
