Which foods are ranked
- The 74 fruits on CalorieExplorer with a reported sodium value. They are generic USDA FoodData Central rows (Foundation Foods and SR Legacy) with a plain name: no branded products, restaurant items, survey mixed dishes, baby foods or regional specialty rows.
- Every reported value is ranked, 0 included (74 fruits); a food with no reported value is left out, never counted as 0.
- Flours, crude brans, powders and dehydrated foods, juice concentrates, mixes, sugars and fortified foods are not ranked: per 100 g they beat every food eaten as is. They are listed separately below.
- Ties share a rank: foods with the same value per 100 g get the same number, and the next number is skipped.
- Typical portion = USDA's own serving weight for that food (a medium fruit, 1 cup, 1 oz…), as on its food page. Per 200 kcal shows how much you get for the same calories; foods under 5 kcal per 100 g are not ranked that way (–).
- % DV = share of the FDA Daily Value for sodium, 2,300 mg a day for adults and children 4 and older.
- FDA's “low” claim for sodium allows 140 mg or less per reference serving (21 CFR 101.60–101.62); applied here to the typical USDA portion.
