About MacGourmet Deluxe Nutritional Information
Nutrition Analysis Based on USDA Database

trient Data Bank is a repository of information for hundreds of nutrients and for
over 8,000 foods. It is made available in their principle database--the USDA
National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR).
