Search the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference
This interface allows simple searches. Enter up to 5 keywords which best describe your food item. Select a Food Group.
Then click on the Submit button. If you don't get a match, check your spelling or try a related keyword. If you get too many food items, try a more specific keyword. If you enter two or more keywords, the program will search for food items which contain all of the keywords. Keywords do not have to be adjacent or in the same order as they appear in the food item. You can exclude food items by placing the word "not" in front of a keyword.
For Example: Entering "apples not canned" will produce a list of food items containing the keyword "apples" but not the keyword "canned".
If you want to view reports on foods by single nutrients, such as calcium or niacin, view our Nutrient Lists.
