Information from USDA's Nutrient Data Bank

David B. Haytowitz

Nutrient Data Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center, Riverdale, MD 20737

The United States Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Data Bank contains a wealth of information on the composition of foods. These data are made available to the public through Agriculture Handbook No. 8, Composition of Foods: Raw, Processed, Prepared, its computerized form—the USDA Nutrient Data Base for Standard Reference, and other publications. Food components in Agriculture Handbook No. 8 include proximate components, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids, cholesterol, phytosterols, and amino acids. Other tables and data sets containing food components of special interest such as vitamins D and K, selenium, and sugars, are also available. This paper describes how to obtain the data in either printed or electronic form. Information on obtaining the data through the Nutrient Data Bank Bulletin Board or the Internet is also presented.

KEY WORDS: • nutrient data • food composition • electronic data • Internet
