USDA records and method
Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
USDA description: seeds, pumpkin and squash seed kernels, dried.
FoodData Central ID 170556Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, FoodData Central. One reviewed plain USDA record is used for each seed; comparisons use only nutrients reported for every selected seed. FoodMaya pins the reviewed FDC IDs shown above so the selected records do not change silently.
FoodMaya converts each reported nutrient to a percent of the daily reference amount per 100 g, then compares foods using only vitamins and minerals reported for every reviewed food in seeds. To find foods that broaden the profile, the calculation reduces the influence of very large amounts of any one nutrient. It then ranks each food by the pairwise Gram determinant: the squared area spanned by its transformed profile and the starting profile. A larger area reflects substantial nutrient amounts in a less redundant pattern. This page shows the highest-ranked candidate for the featured starting food.
The 100 g basis is for consistent comparison, not a suggested portion. USDA values can vary by variety, preparation, and storage. This narrow comparison omits protein, fiber, phytonutrients, bioavailability, allergies, cost, and personal medical needs; it is informational and not medical advice.
