This dataset has been superseded by a newer version, Composition of Foods Raw, Processed, Prepared USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 28. 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. Data have been compiled from published and unpublished sources.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 Unpublished data include those obtained from the food industry, other government agencies, and research conducted under contracts initiated by USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS). Updated data have been published electronically on the USDA Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL) web site since 1992. Standard Reference (SR) 27 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8” (US Department of Agriculture 1976-92), and its four supplements (US Department of Agriculture 1990-93), which superseded the 1963 edition (Watt and Merrill, 1963). SR27 supersedes all previous releases, including the printed versions, in the event of any differences.

The average American’s diet does not align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2020). The present study aimed to compare fruit and vegetable consumption among those who had and had not heard of the DGA, identify characteristics of DGA users, and identify barriers to DGA use. A nationwide survey of 943 Americans revealed that those who had heard of the DGA ate more fruits and vegetables than those who had not. Men, African Americans, and those who have more education had greater odds of using the DGA as a guide when preparing meals relative to their respective counterparts. Disinterest, effort, and time were among the most cited reasons for not using the DGA. Future research should examine how to increase DGA adherence among those unaware of or who do not use the DGA. Comparative analyses of fruit and vegetable consumption among those who were aware/unaware and use/do not use the DGA were completed using independent samples t tests. Fruit and vegetable consumption variables were log-transformed for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to examine whether demographic features (race, gender, and age) predict DGA awareness and usage. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.1 and SAS/STAT® version 9.4 TS1M7 (2023 SAS Institute Inc).

Data from a diet choice experiment on Mormon crickets Anabrus simplex (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) reared in the laboratory. Three groups were tested for immune response to inoculation with Beauveria bassiana fungus, an insect pathogen. One group had phenoloxidase (PO), prophenoloxidase (proPO), and total hemolymph protein assayed four times to create a time series from one day before to six days following treatment. A second group had PO, proPO and total protein assayed once on day four following treatment for comparison with those that were wounded multiple times, and a third group was assayed once on day one following treatment for comparison with those assayed on day four. Resources in this dataset: Resource Title: Contains descriptions of the data analyzed for Selective Protein Starvation by Mormon crickets Following Fungal Attack File Name: Readme.rtf Resource Description: Three related data sets are included with this text file. Resource Title: Protein and Carbohydrate Intake for Inoculated Mormon crickets and Controls File Name: InducedImmunityIdaho4dayIntakes.csv Resource Description: Dry mass consumption of P diet was averaged for days 1-3 or days 4-8, and multiplied by 0.42 to yield average daily protein consumption for the two time periods (in mg). The same was done to yield carbohydrate consumption. (c=control, i=inoculated, m=male, f=female) Resource Title: Phenoloxidase, proPhenoloxidase and total hemolymph protein for Mormon crickets relative to the day of fungal treatment (day 0) File Name: inducedImmunPOprotein.csv Resource Description: After eclosing to adults, male and female Mormon crickets were evenly separated into three experimental sets. Four inoculated females and four males (fdi and mdi, respectively) and four control females and four males (fdc and mdc, respectively) had hemolymph drawn on the day prior to the fungal treatments for baseline assays and then hemolymph drawn repeatedly every other day following treatment. In order to determine whether the injury to draw hemolymph affected the immunity titer, a second set of four inoculated females and four males (fai and mai, respectively) and four control females and four males (fac and mac, respectively) were given the fungal treatments as above and hemolymph was drawn once on day 4. A third set of four inoculated females and four males (fpi and mpi, respectively) and four control females and four males (fpc and mpc, respectively) were treated and hemolymph was drawn once on the day following treatment (day 1). Resource Title: Body mass and survivorship of Mormon crickets following fungal inoculation File Name: InducedImmunityIdahoMassSurvivorship.csv Resource Description: The twelve inoculated females (fdi, fai, fpi) and 12 males (mdi, mai, mpi) and 12 control females (fdc, fac, fpc) and 12 males (mdc, mac, mpc) were checked daily for mortality. Cadavers were placed in 100% humidity and checked for Beauveria sporulation (white spores) on the exoskeleton and membranes after 4 days. Mass on the day that the insect molted to adult, the day of inoculation, each day that hemolymph was drawn, and on the day the insect died were recorded.

It contains cash payments and commodity costs for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program and the Special Milk Program. (format: html, xls)

This study is the fourth in a series that uses the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to examine the relationship between SNAP participation and indicators of diet quality, nutrition, and health. As in previous studies, this study compares SNAP participants with income-eligible and higher income nonparticipants, by age and gender.

This database contains values for six choline metabolites: Betaine, Glycerophosphocholine, Phosphocholine, Phosphatidylcholine, Sphingomyelin, and Total choline This database was created through a collaborative effort between the USDA and the Department of Nutrition, University of North Carolina.

[Note: Integrated as part of FoodData Central, April 2019.] The USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR) is the major source of food composition data in the United States and provides the foundation for most food composition databases in the public and private sectors. This is the last release of the database in its current format. SR-Legacy will continue its preeminent role as a stand-alone food composition resource and will be available in the new modernized system currently under development. SR-Legacy contains data on 7,793 food items and up to 150 food components that were reported in SR28 (2015), with selected corrections and updates. This release supersedes all previous releases.
