How to compare two foods fairly

Every number traces to one specific USDA FoodData Central food record. Missing values stay missing; raw and cooked foods are not treated as interchangeable.

Start by deciding which question you actually want to answer. “Which is healthier?” has no single numeric answer: energy, fiber, vitamin C and convenience can point in different directions.

Compare like with like

Set both foods to 100 g to reveal their nutrient density. Then try the serving you would eat. In this catalog, grapes mean red seedless grapes and strawberries mean raw strawberries; a dried grape or a strawberry preserve would be a different comparison.

Check the source records

Each result names the exact USDA FoodData Central entry and its ID. A missing nutrient is shown as missing. It does not mean the food contains none of it.

Use the answer in context

For the sampled records, strawberries have more vitamin C per 100 g, while red seedless grapes supply more energy. That is a descriptive comparison, not a verdict about your diet or health.
