The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 24 calories for USDA reference amount at 83 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 29 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.8 g protein, 2.8 g fiber, and 109 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is turnip greens, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, representing 99.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 24–48 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 2709635: “Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, no added fat.” 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 2709635, 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 | 62.3 g | 18 kcal | 2.1 g | 2.1 g | 82 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 83 g | 24 kcal | 2.8 g | 2.8 g | 109 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 165 g | 48 kcal | 5.5 g | 5.6 g | 216 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709638 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 83 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 62.3–103.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 18 kcal and 30 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709638
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.5 g less total fat than “Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt supplies 99.7% 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 “frozen; cooked; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2709638 when “frozen; cooked; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, no added fat,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 02
raw versus cooked weight
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.
- 03
cooking method
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.
- 04
added fat or sauce
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 2709635 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 29 kcal per 100 g becomes 24 kcal at 83 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: 2709635
FNDDS food code: 72128212
The scaling for FDC 2709635 can be exact while the match to “Turnip greens, frozen, cooked, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 83 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
