The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 65 calories for USDA reference amount at 65 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 100 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 88 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is burdock root, raw, representing 96.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 65–130 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709886: “Burdock, cooked.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
For FDC 2709886, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 48.8 g | 49 kcal | 0.8 g | 1.7 g | 66 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 65 g | 65 kcal | 1 g | 2.2 g | 88 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 130 g | 130 kcal | 2.1 g | 4.4 g | 176 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 122 exact records in the Other vegetables and combinations USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2709886’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709886’s 65 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Dietary fiber2.2 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium26 mg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium88 mg
≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.5 g
≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Burdock, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709875 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 48.8–81.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 49 kcal and 81 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 8.5 g more carbohydrate than “Beets, fresh, cooked, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Burdock root, raw supplies 96.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2709875 when “fresh; cooked; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Only this record lists Burdock root, raw. Only the comparison record lists Beets, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Burdock root, raw.
Listed only in the comparison: Beets, raw.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 65 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (130 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 88 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (175 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709886 with FDC 2709875 at equal mass; use their 65 g and 88 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709886 versus FDC 2709875 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Burdock, cooked,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
FDC 2709886 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 100 kcal per 100 g becomes 65 kcal at 65 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709886
FNDDS food code: 75209501
The scaling for FDC 2709886 can be exact while the match to “Burdock, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 65 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
