Description:
This 2002 database, in tabular form, gives the nutritive values for household measures of commonly used foods. Consumers want ready answers to questions about food values so they can plan nutritious diets for themselves and their families. Also, nutritionists, dietitians, and other health professionals use this type of information in their daily work. USDA nutrition researchers have revised this document many times since the first publication in 1960, to reflect expanded knowledge, to add or subtract specific values, and to update the ever-growing list of available, commonly used foods. In this revision, values for total dietary fiber have been added and phosphorus values have been removed. Values are reported for water; calories; protein; total fat; saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids; cholesterol; carbohydrate; total dietary fiber; calcium; iron; potassium; sodium; vitamin A in IU and RE units; thiamin; riboflavin; niacin; and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
