Type a food, then choose it from the list. You’ll get a nutrition facts label with calories, macronutrients, vitamins and minerals, and % Daily Value for the serving size you pick.
Where the numbers come from
All values come from USDA FoodData Central, the US government’s main food composition database. We show two of its datasets: Foundation Foods, which are recently analysed basic foods, and SR Legacy, the long-running standard reference. Branded and restaurant foods are not included, so search for the basic food (for example “oats” rather than a brand of oatmeal).
% Daily Value uses the FDA reference amounts for adults on food labels. Vitamins and minerals are listed when one serving gives at least 5% of the Daily Value, plus vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium, which every US label must show.
Why a food might show “not listed”
Laboratories don’t measure every nutrient in every food. “Not listed” means USDA has no value for that nutrient in that entry, not that the food contains none. Try another entry for the same food, such as the raw version.
