  • Only single-fruit entries are used: those described as raw, then “raw or frozen”, then entries whose description names no processing at all, labelled “as listed”. Processed and prepared forms are left out, and so are foods for infants and blends of several fruits. Where USDA has more than one entry of the same kind for a fruit, the one with the lowest FDC ID is shown.
