The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 11 calories for USDA reference amount at 30 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 38 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.3 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 272 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is sauce, salsa, verde, ready-to-serve, 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 tablespoon 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 6–93 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 2709743: “Salsa verde or salsa, green.” 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 2709743, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tablespoon” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 6 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.3 g | 136 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 30 g | 11 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.6 g | 272 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 246 g | 93 kcal | 2.8 g | 4.7 g | 2,229 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Dips, gravies, other sauces
The comparison set contains 23 exact records in the Dips, gravies, other sauces USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709743’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709743’s 30 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium272 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Salsa verde or salsa, green,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 tablespoon to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 246 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 6 kcal to 93 kcal.
- 02
Record identity: FDC 2709743
No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Salsa verde or salsa, green” attached to any value copied from this profile.
- 03
Single listed source: Sauce, salsa, verde, ready-to-serve
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.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Use this profile only when “Salsa verde or salsa, green” is the closest available description and the 30 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

What does this USDA record represent?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “green”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

How to compare FDC 2709743: its source amount is 30 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
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2709743 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Salsa verde or salsa, green” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Sauce, salsa, verde, ready-to-serve 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.
| # | USDA input | Listed amount | Input weight | Share of listed input weight |

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2709743, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Dips, gravies, other sauces” 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.
No forced match
This record does not have a sufficiently close direct comparator in the published corpus.
No other published “Dips, gravies, other sauces” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2709743 to clear Feast’s close-record rule. A broad category neighbor would look relevant without establishing a defensible pair.

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 amount used, recipe or brand, concentration, oil, sugar, and salt formulation.
For “Salsa verde or salsa, green,” resolve amount used first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount used
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
concentration
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 04
oil, sugar, and salt formulation
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
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709743 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 38 kcal per 100 g becomes 11 kcal at 30 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: 2709743
FNDDS food code: 74402350
The scaling for FDC 2709743 can be exact while the match to “Salsa verde or salsa, green” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 30 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
