Yeah, that’s what I thought, but the USDA food database has seemingly disappeared 😲😟 fdc.nal.usda.gov, so I couldn’t check!

Red bell peppers contain nearly three times more vitamin C than an orange and are rich in vitamin A. They are sweet, versatile, and support the immune system.

Los pimientos rojos contienen casi tres veces más vitamina C que una naranja y son ricos en vitamina A. Son dulces, versátiles y refuerzan el sistema inmunológico.

According to the USDA 100g lemons have 0.6mg iron. So you'd need a lot of lemons in order to forge a sword.
Now I really want to see someone try to do it.

You can download the dataset while it's still there

if it doesn’t have a nutrition label, USDA has a food database and it’s probably in there.

Is there a way to help with this? A way to recommend sites for archival? I've downloaded the USDA Nutritional Database here fdc.nal.usda.gov but I kinda want to make sure all that data gets archived.

Tofu contains 683mg of calcium per 100g. For reference, cow's milk has about 113mg per 100g. That means this plant food actually beats dairy milk!

Fiber is important, so yeah

You're welcome.

Not a lot, and it varies, but when you pair it with other foods, it adds-up.

Potatoes are also a complex carbohydrate, and depending on the variety, has a fair to good amount of fiber, and moderate calories, 73kcal per 100g, compared to beef's 235kcal per 100g.

Hey @jakerockatansky.bsky.social I saw you mentioned in the most recent QAA those nutrition apps costing money. They're pretty much all based on the USDA FoodData service which is free here fdc.nal.usda.gov
