Typical listed-weight range
3.6%–52.5%
The middle half of linked records spans 48.9 percentage points from the 25th to the 75th percentile. This is more resistant to a single extreme record than the full minimum-to-maximum range.

Seeds, dried (decorticated) in 3 Feast-indexed USDA foods
Within Feast’s 3,850-record USDA FNDDS reference corpus, “Seeds, dried (decorticated)” appears as a formulation input in 3 finished-food records. Their calories and nutrients describe those complete foods, not the input label by itself. Use the catalog to choose the closest finished food and open its exact FoodData Central citation.

This page helps you find complete foods that include Seeds, dried (decorticated) in USDA’s nutrition data. Choose the record that most closely matches what you ate; Feast does not turn a collection average into a standalone ingredient estimate.
What the code means
One exact source label across 3 complete records.
Every occurrence collected here uses ingredient code 12201 and the source description “Seeds, sesame seed kernels, dried (decorticated).” The code is preserved exactly as it appears in the FNDDS input-food rows. It is not a FoodData Central FDC ID, so this page does not invent a standalone ingredient-record URL.
The strongest concentrations of linked records are currently Crackers, excludes saltines (1), Doughnuts, sweet rolls, pastries (1), Nuts and seeds (1). These are category counts within Feast’s selected 3,850-record corpus. They do not estimate how often the ingredient is eaten, how common it is in recipes generally, or its prevalence across every FNDDS release.
Collection-level interpretation
Grounded ways to understand this source label
These summaries describe the linked FNDDS records in this exact corpus. They do not estimate consumer frequency, market share, or the composition of a meal. This is a very small set of 3 records: each observation can move the percentages, buckets, and interpolated quartiles substantially, so read the complete catalog rather than treating the summaries as stable population estimates.
Largest linked category
Crackers, excludes saltines
1 of 3 linked records (33%) sits in this USDA category. The remainder span 2 other categories.
Most populated share band
1% to under 5%
1 record (33%) falls in this band after repeated rows for code 12201 are combined within each food.
Most frequent eligible co-input
Beverages, water, tap, municipal
It appears alongside code 12201 in 2 linked records (67%). Co-occurrence describes database structure, not a required recipe.
Where USDA uses this input
Linked records by source-food category
Each record is counted once even if ingredient code 12201 appears on more than one input row inside that formulation. The category grouping describes the complete linked foods, not a culinary rule about the ingredient.

Important nutrition boundary
This collection does not support a verified standalone nutrition answer for “Seeds, sesame seed kernels, dried (decorticated).”
No unique exact food-code match or reviewed sole-source bridge qualifies for a direct consumer answer. Feast therefore does not treat the collection median, minimum, maximum, or an arbitrary similar record as the nutrition of this input.
The table below describes the complete linked foods per 100 grams. Use it to find a closer finished-food record, not to infer what this formulation input supplies on its own.
Compare complete food records
Nutrient span across the linked foods
Every value in this table describes an entire USDA survey-food record per 100 grams. The values are not the nutrient content of ingredient code 12201, and differences cannot be attributed to this one input.

| Sodiumper 100 g of the complete food | 9 mg | 28–312 mg | 47 mg | 577 mg | 3 |
The minimum and maximum preserve the complete observed span. The median is the middle linked-record value, not a prediction for a meal and not an ingredient-specific nutrient estimate.

Decision support from the exact records on this page
Turn source data into a better next decision
These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 3 exact records behind Seeds, sesame seed kernels, dried (decorticated) (USDA input 12201). Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.
Equal-weight result
Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat is higher in sodium per 100 g
Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat reports 577 mg versus 9 mg for Pastry, Chinese, made with rice flour: a 568 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.
Inspect the underlying evidenceThe denominator changes the answer
Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat is denser; Pastry, Chinese, made with rice flour is higher in its source amount
Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat reports 425 kcal per 100 g and 51 kcal in USDA source amount (12 g). Pastry, Chinese, made with rice flour reports a lower 242 kcal per 100 g but a higher 169 kcal in USDA source amount (70 g).
Record identity is part of the estimate
Distinguish “Breadsticks, hard, whole wheat” from “Sesame seeds”
These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.

Follow this evidence pathMethod and provenance
How this ingredient-centered page was calculated
Feast begins with its pinned 3,850-record USDA FoodData Central Survey Foods reference corpus for FNDDS 2021–2023. Each exact food profile retains its FDC identifier, source-food description, nutrient values, household measures, and positive-weight input-food rows. This page groups those input rows by the exact ingredient code 12201; it does not merge similar-looking ingredient names or infer synonyms.
The distinct-record count deduplicates by FDC food record. When the same code is listed more than once inside one source formulation, its input weights are added before the listed-weight share is calculated. Category counts also count each food once. The 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile use the sorted one-share-per-food values with linear interpolation between adjacent ranks when a percentile falls between two records.
USDA’s current FNDDS documentation explains that many nutrient profiles are generated with calculation recipes designed to represent multiple variants, and that their input codes are not necessarily the exact ingredients in a retail product or an ingredient declaration. It also documents moisture and nutrient-retention adjustments. Feast therefore treats these rows as transparent source-calculation evidence—not as a reverse-engineered recipe.
The complete-food nutrient table uses each linked record’s available published per-100-gram values so the denominator remains consistent; its middle-50% ranges use the same interpolated percentile method. It is presented for record selection and comparison only. No nutrient value is reassigned to the ingredient, no causal effect is inferred, and no “healthy” score is manufactured from the collection.
How to apply the evidence to a meal
Use the ingredient as a discovery clue. Compare the linked record names, food categories, preparation wording, source formulation, and portion measures. If a close record exists, its complete profile can provide a defensible reference estimate. If the meal differs materially in cooking fat, sauce, ingredient ratios, or portion size, keep looking or use recipe weights, a package label, or an editable photo estimate instead.
These pages are educational source indexes. They do not provide medical advice, personalized nutrient targets, food-safety guidance, or a recipe. If a clinician has given you individualized dietary instructions, follow that guidance and use the most specific current source available for the food you actually consumed.
