The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 172 calories for USDA reference amount at 28 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 615 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 5.5 g protein, 2.1 g fiber, and 2 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted, representing 49% 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 172–873 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

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707508: “Mixed nuts, with peanuts, unsalted.” 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

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2707508, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707508’s 28 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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.

Strength-side signals

≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Dietary fiber2.1 g

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Mixed nuts, with peanuts, unsalted,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707510 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 package to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 50 g and 142 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 308 kcal to 873 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707510

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.4 g more protein than “Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted supplies 49% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “with peanuts; unsalted” fits. Inspect FDC 2707510 when “without peanuts; unsalted” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707508 to 3 source inputs totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Mixed nuts, with peanuts, unsalted” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted, Peanuts, all types, dry-roasted, without salt, Vegetable oil, NFS. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707508, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Nuts and seeds” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 3.4 g more protein than “Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted.”

Only this record lists Mixed nuts, without peanuts, unsalted; Peanuts, all types, dry-roasted, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Nuts, almonds, dry roasted, without salt added; Nuts, cashew nuts, dry roasted, without salt added; Nuts, brazilnuts, dried, unblanched; Nuts, hazelnuts or filberts. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations differ

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 the comparison: Nuts, almonds, dry roasted, without salt added; Nuts, cashew nuts, dry roasted, without salt added; Nuts, brazilnuts, dried, unblanched; Nuts, hazelnuts or filberts; and 3 more.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (142 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (142 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707508 with FDC 2707510 at equal mass; use their 28 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707508 versus FDC 2707510 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

What can change this estimate?

This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.

For “Mixed nuts, with peanuts, unsalted,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    portion size

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    preparation

    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.

  3. 03

    added fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  4. 04

    sauce or seasoning

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2707508 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 615 kcal per 100 g becomes 172 kcal at 28 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: 2707508

FNDDS food code: 42110120

The scaling for FDC 2707508 can be exact while the match to “Mixed nuts, with peanuts, unsalted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 28 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
