Vegetables: find the record that best matches the food.

Vegetables and vegetable-focused preparations. 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.

  1. 01

    Identity

    Match the exact food description—especially preparation, additions, and whether the record is a single food or mixed dish.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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.”

What “Vegetables” 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 9 exact records behind Vegetables 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

Potato tots, frozen, baked is higher in calories per 100 g

Potato tots, frozen, baked reports 187 kcal versus 20 kcal for Lettuce, raw: a 167 kcal difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Corn, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat is denser; Jai, Monk's Food is higher in its source amount

Corn, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat reports 66 kcal per 100 g and 55 kcal in USDA source amount (83 g). Jai, Monk's Food reports a lower 60 kcal per 100 g but a higher 56 kcal in USDA source amount (94 g).

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Corn, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat” from “Potato salad with egg, from restaurant”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.

Follow the relationship that matches your question

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

Best next guide for this exact record Lettuce

Lettuce, raw and Lettuce, salad with egg, cheese, tomato, and/or carrots, with or without other vegetables, no dressing are explicitly linked in this guide, which separates direct name matches from contextual variants.

Interpretation, not trivia

Three questions that prevent the most common category mistakes

Food databases become more useful when the limits are part of the answer rather than buried beneath it.

What does this category’s median represent?

It is the calculated median among the records in this Feast category on a 100-gram basis. It is not a measurement of a particular food, a suggested serving, or an estimate of what people usually eat.

Why can two records in the same category be far apart?

A broad category can contain different ingredients, water content, preparation methods, additions, and formulations. Compare the complete record names before attributing a nutrient difference to any one factor.

Should I use the source serving or the per-100-gram value?

Use per 100 grams to compare nutrient concentration on equal weight. Use the closest household measure or gram amount to estimate the food you actually ate. The source serving is a reference amount, not a recommendation.
