Open data
Food nutrition dataset
A free, downloadable CSV of per-100 g nutrition for 177 common foods — calories, macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals — compiled from USDA FoodData Central. Every row carries its FoodData Central ID, so any value can be traced straight back to the source record.
What’s included
One row per food. Identifier columns (slug, name, category, fdc_id) and the food’s typical serving (serving_label, serving_grams) come first, followed by all nutrient values expressed per 100 g: calories, the full macronutrient set, and 16 vitamins and minerals.
Values are typical figures from USDA reference data and vary with variety, ripeness, and preparation. To convert any value to a serving, multiply by serving_grams ÷ 100.
