Burak Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Here is an alternative to USDA food composition database (also in English): https://pro.anses.fr/tableciqual/ This is especially useful for folks who live in Europe as soil content is different compared to US. I have been using this quite a while. Some observations: *Trace elements such as selenium and iodine are very low in Europe. *Most of the heavy metals such as iron, copper, manganese are slightly lower, which is favorible to me as I get these a lot. *B vitamins are again slightly lower, could be due to freshness, but no big deal. *Beta carotene values are very similar, vitamin C is slightly higher in Europe, could be due to freshness which contradicts above. *Protein and fiber contents are quite variable. I always trust nutrition facts label for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
