The Vitamin Content of Foods

(100 gram edible portions)

Source: Dietary and Chemical Researches

The range of values reported for any one vitamin in a particular food item is often broad, due to natural variations in the food, varietal differences, and method of assay.

In calculating the vitamin content of ordinary diets, average figures for the vitamin content of foods are required because specific information about the variety, condition of growth, and other factors affecting the vitamin values of foods is usually not available.

Every figure in the enclosed table represents one or more actual assays of the respective food item listed in the lefthand column.
