The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 111 calories for USDA reference amount at 40 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 277 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 3.9 g fiber, and 4 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is figs, dried, uncooked, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 22–443 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 2709204: “Fig, dried.” 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 2709204, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fig” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 figUSDA-listed household measure | 8 g | 22 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.8 g | 1 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 40 g | 111 kcal | 1.3 g | 3.9 g | 4 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 443 kcal | 5.3 g | 15.7 g | 16 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 14 exact records in the Dried fruits USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709204’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709204’s 40 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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 fiber3.9 g
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium27 mg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.1 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium4 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Fig, dried,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709196 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 8 g and 160 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 22 kcal to 443 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 77 mg less sodium than “Apple, dried.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

How to compare FDC 2709204: its source amount is 40 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record
USDA links FDC 2709204 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Fig, dried” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
Figs, dried, uncooked is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.
100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 34 more calories, 2.4 g more protein, and 77 mg less sodium than “Apple, dried.”
Only this record lists Figs, dried, uncooked. Only the comparison record lists Apples, dried, sulfured, uncooked. 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.
Listed only in this record: Figs, dried, uncooked.
Listed only in the comparison: Apples, dried, sulfured, uncooked.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 40 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (160 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 40 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (90 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709204 with FDC 2709196 at equal mass; use their 40 g and 40 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709204 versus FDC 2709196 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 piece or portion size, variety and ripeness, fresh versus cooked form, added sweeteners.
For “Fig, dried,” resolve piece or 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.
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
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.
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
FDC 2709204 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 277 kcal per 100 g becomes 111 kcal at 40 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: 2709204
FNDDS food code: 62113100
The scaling for FDC 2709204 can be exact while the match to “Fig, dried” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 40 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
