Compare all 4 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 4 exact records in this guide report 14–45 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 31–58 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Cabbage, green, begin by separating “Cabbage, green, cooked with butter or margarine” from “Cabbage, green, raw.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Cabbage.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first two description segments” placed these 4 records together under the exact grouping key “cabbage green.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Cabbage, green, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2709892 through FDC 2709773. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

45–78 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.7× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

27 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “raw”; the higher is “cooked with oil.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

135 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “raw” (16 mg) and “cooked with butter or margarine” (151 mg).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every cabbage, green.

Important: “Lower” begins with Cabbage, green, raw; “higher” ends with Cabbage, green, cooked with oil, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every cabbage, green meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Cabbage, green, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 45 to 78 grams—a 33-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 14 calories for “raw” to 45 for “cooked with oil.” At a fixed 100 grams, “raw” is 31 calories and “cooked with oil” is 58—a fixed-weight separation of 27 calories. For Cabbage, green, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “green, cooked with butter or margarine”, “green, cooked with oil”, “green, cooked, no added fat”, and “green, raw”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes cabbage, green, raw; differentiating rows include salt, table, table fat, nfs, and vegetable oil, nfs. On this Cabbage, green page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Cabbage, green” cannot resolve the differences between Cabbage, green, cooked with butter or margarine and Cabbage, green, raw. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 45–78 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “green, cooked with butter or margarine”, “green, cooked with oil”, “green, cooked, no added fat”, and “green, raw”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include cabbage, green, raw; rows that vary across the set include salt, table, table fat, nfs, and vegetable oil, nfs. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Cabbage, green, cooked with butter or margarine” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Cabbage, green unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that cabbage, green is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“green, cooked with butter or margarine”, “green, cooked with oil”, “green, cooked, no added fat”, and “green, raw”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Cabbage, green source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

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 4 exact records behind Cabbage, green source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Cabbage, green, cooked with oil is higher in total fat per 100 g

Cabbage, green, cooked with oil reports 3.3 g versus 0.2 g for Cabbage, green, raw: a 3 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Cabbage, green, cooked, no added fat is denser; Cabbage, green, cooked with butter or margarine is higher in its source amount

Cabbage, green, cooked, no added fat reports 1 g per 100 g and 0.8 g in USDA source amount (75 g). Cabbage, green, cooked with butter or margarine reports a lower 1 g per 100 g but a higher 0.8 g in USDA source amount (78 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Cabbage, green, cooked, no added fat and Cabbage, green, raw are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Preparation wording (No matching controlled term in the source name 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.
