The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 225 calories for USDA reference amount at 139 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 162 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.7 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 621 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked, representing 86.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 225–300 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 2709090: “Rice with raisins.” 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 2709090, 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 | 104.3 g | 169 kcal | 2.8 g | 0.8 g | 466 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 139 g | 225 kcal | 3.7 g | 1.1 g | 621 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 185 g | 300 kcal | 4.9 g | 1.5 g | 827 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 99 exact records in the Rice mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2709090’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709090’s 139 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.
Iron2 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium621 mg
≈ 27% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.7 g
≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Rice with raisins,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709071 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 104.3–173.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 169 kcal and 281 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4 g less total fat than “Rice croquette.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked supplies 86.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 12 g more carbohydrate and 4 g less total fat than “Rice croquette.”
Only this record lists Raisins, dark, seedless (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Margarine, stick. Only the comparison record lists Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw; Celery, raw; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Shortening, vegetable, household, composite. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Raisins, dark, seedless (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Margarine, stick.
Listed only in the comparison: Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw; Celery, raw; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Shortening, vegetable, household, composite.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 139 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (185 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 62 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 croquette (62 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709090 with FDC 2709071 at equal mass; use their 139 g and 62 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709090 versus FDC 2709071 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 amount served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Rice with raisins,” resolve amount served 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.
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
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 2709090 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 162 kcal per 100 g becomes 225 kcal at 139 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: 2709090
FNDDS food code: 58164110
The scaling for FDC 2709090 can be exact while the match to “Rice with raisins” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 139 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
