Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Classic mixed vegetables, begin by separating “Classic mixed vegetables, canned, cooked with butter or margarine” from “Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat.” 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 10 named USDA records in view: 10 direct matches. All sit within “Other vegetables and combinations.” 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 description segment” placed these 10 records together under the exact grouping key “classic mixed vegetables.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Classic mixed vegetables, this page can compare 10 named records from FDC 2710021 through FDC 2710013. 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

90–93 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.0× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

56 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat”; the higher is “from restaurant.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

245 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “canned, reduced sodium, cooked with oil” (15 mg) and “canned, cooked with butter or margarine” (260 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 classic mixed vegetables.

Important: “Lower” begins with Classic mixed vegetables, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat; “higher” ends with Classic mixed vegetables, cooked, from restaurant, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every classic mixed vegetables meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Classic mixed vegetables, 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 90 to 93 grams—a 3-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 40 calories for “canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat” to 93 for “from restaurant.” At a fixed 100 grams, “canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat” is 44 calories and “from restaurant” is 100—a fixed-weight separation of 56 calories. For Classic mixed vegetables, 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 “canned, cooked with butter or margarine”, “canned, cooked, no added fat”, “canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat”, “frozen, cooked with butter or margarine”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”. The source formulations contain 33 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include salt, table, vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, carrots, canned, cooked with butter or margarine, and carrots, canned, cooked with oil. On this Classic mixed vegetables 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 “Classic mixed vegetables” cannot resolve the differences between Classic mixed vegetables, canned, cooked with butter or margarine and Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat. 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 90–93 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 “canned, cooked with butter or margarine”, “canned, cooked, no added fat”, “canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat”, “frozen, cooked with butter or margarine”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    33 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Classic mixed vegetables, …, cooked with butter or margarine” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Classic mixed vegetables 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 classic mixed vegetables is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“canned, cooked with butter or margarine”, “canned, reduced sodium, cooked with butter or margarine”, “cooked, from restaurant”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”—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 Classic mixed vegetables 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 10 exact records behind Classic mixed vegetables 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

Classic mixed vegetables, cooked, from restaurant is higher in total fat per 100 g

Classic mixed vegetables, cooked, from restaurant reports 4.7 g versus 0.2 g for Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat: a 4.6 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat is denser; Classic mixed vegetables, canned, cooked with butter or margarine is higher in its source amount

Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat reports 65 kcal per 100 g and 59 kcal in USDA source amount (90 g). Classic mixed vegetables, canned, cooked with butter or margarine reports a lower 64 kcal per 100 g but a higher 60 kcal in USDA source amount (93 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Classic mixed vegetables, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat and Classic mixed vegetables, cooked, from restaurant are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Added-fat wording (no added fat versus No matching controlled term in the source name) 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.
