About CalorieExplorer

CalorieExplorer is a nutrition facts database for single foods and ingredients — fruits, vegetables, meats, grains, dairy, seafood and more — with calories, macronutrients and micronutrients per 100g. Prepared meals, restaurant dishes and cuisines are covered by our sister site, FoodCaloriesHub.

Our Data

Most foods on CalorieExplorer come from USDA FoodData Central (FDC), the most comprehensive and authoritative source of food composition data in the United States. Each of those pages names its FDC record (FDC ID, data type and the date we retrieved it) so you can check the numbers at the source. A small number of foods have no FDC record — for example some international dishes, whose values are estimates; their pages say so and are not submitted to search engines. Rankings and comparisons use FDC foods only.

How It Works

Each food page shows nutrition facts per 100g serving, along with common serving sizes, diet compatibility (keto, vegan, gluten-free), health benefits, and frequently asked questions. You can search by food name, browse by category, or explore diet-specific food lists.
