USDA Survey Foods82 exact records

Fruit: find the record that best matches the food.

Whole, cooked, dried, and mixed fruit profiles. This page shows the shape of the collection before asking you to choose a number: what sits near the middle, how wide the central range is, and which words distinguish one source record from another.

The shortest route to a defensible estimate

Choose in this order: identity, amount, then context.

01
Identity
Match the exact food description—especially preparation, additions, and whether the record is a single food or mixed dish.
02
Amount
Use a household measure tied to that record or enter grams. A familiar serving word without a weight can hide a large difference.
03
Context
Add the brand, recipe, sauce, cooking fat, toppings, or edible portion that the generic source record cannot know.

What the collection actually contains

Central nutrient ranges on one denominator

Each row uses values per 100 grams. The median is the collection midpoint; the central range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile. That interval describes variation among source records—not uncertainty around a single meal and not a recommended intake range.

Median and central per-100-gram nutrient ranges for records in this category
Nutrient	Median	Central 80%	Records reporting
Energyper 100 g	65 kcal	41–282 kcal	82 of 82
Proteinper 100 g	0.8 g	0.3–2.4 g	82 of 82
Fiberper 100 g	1.8 g	0.8–7.2 g	82 of 82
Sodiumper 100 g	4 mg	0–47 mg	82 of 82

Zeros are retained when reported; missing values are not silently converted to zero. Rounded values are for orientation. Open an exact profile for Feast’s 21-nutrient panel and source citation.

Three coordinates, not winners

Records that make the range easier to understand

These examples sit near the collection’s energy midpoint or upper central protein and fiber boundaries. A high value for one nutrient is not a complete judgment of the food, and the records are not ranked as “best.”

Near the collection midpoint

Blueberries, raw

64 kcal per 100 g—close to the median energy concentration among these records.

Near the upper central protein boundary

What “Fruit” includes here

One Feast category, several USDA source categories

Feast groups related records to make the library navigable. The more specific USDA category and the complete food name remain the better evidence for choosing a match.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 8 exact records behind Fruit category landmarks. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Date is higher in calories per 100 g

Date reports 282 kcal versus 38 kcal for Cantaloupe, raw: a 244 kcal difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Blueberries, raw is denser; Apple, raw is higher in its source amount

Blueberries, raw reports 64 kcal per 100 g and 48 kcal in USDA source amount (75 g). Apple, raw reports a lower 61 kcal per 100 g but a higher 122 kcal in USDA source amount (200 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Apple, baked and Apple, raw are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Preparation wording (baked, roasted, or broiled versus raw) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.

Follow the relationship that matches your question

For Fruit category landmarks, each path states why the destination belongs here, so you can distinguish a true evidentiary connection from a merely similar label.
