The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 55 calories for USDA reference amount at 88 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 63 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, 2.1 g fiber, and 126 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rutabagas, 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 55–233 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 2709980: “Rutabaga, 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 2709980, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 whole” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 175 g | 110 kcal | 2 g | 4.2 g | 250 mg |
| 1 cup, mashedUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 154 kcal | 2.8 g | 5.9 g | 350 mg |
| 1 wholeUSDA-listed household measure | 370 g | 233 kcal | 4.2 g | 8.9 g | 529 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 2709980’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709980’s 88 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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.
Vitamin C19 mg
≈ 22% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber2.1 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium126 mg
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.7 g
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Rutabaga, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709804 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 175 g and 370 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 110 kcal to 233 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.7 g more total fat than “Rutabaga, raw.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Rutabagas, raw supplies 96.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Only this record lists Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table. 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: Rutabagas, raw.
Listed only in this record: Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 88 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (175 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (140 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709980 with FDC 2709804 at equal mass; use their 88 g and 70 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709980 versus FDC 2709804 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 “Rutabaga, 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 2709980 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 63 kcal per 100 g becomes 55 kcal at 88 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: 2709980
FNDDS food code: 75228020
The scaling for FDC 2709980 can be exact while the match to “Rutabaga, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 88 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
