Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>The database consists of several sets of data: food descriptions, nutrients, weights and measures, footnotes,
and sources of data. The Nutrient Data file contains mean nutrient values per 100 g of the edible portion of food, along with
fields to further describe the mean value. Information is provided on household measures for food items. Weights are given
for edible material without refuse. Footnotes are provided for a few items where information about food description, weights
and measures, or nutrient values could not be accommodated in existing fields.</p> <p>Data have been compiled
from published and unpublished sources. Published data sources include the scientific literature. Unpublished data include
those obtained from the food industry, other government agencies, and research conducted under contracts initiated by USDAs
Agricultural Research Service (ARS).</p> <p>Updated data have been published electronically on the USDA Nutrient
Data Laboratory (NDL) web site since 1992. Standard Reference (SR) 28 includes composition data for all the food groups and
nutrients published in the 21 volumes of Agriculture Handbook 8 (US Department of Agriculture 1976-92), and its four supplements
(US Department of Agriculture 1990-93), which superseded the 1963 edition (Watt and Merrill, 1963). SR28 supersedes all previous
releases, including the printed versions, in the event of any differences.</p> <p>Attribution for photos:<a
