Case Study - Food Database

 

Assignments, Lectures, and Support Materials for the Food Database are on this page.The food database contains food nutritional content for about 2000 foods that were compiled by the USDA. Full details of the data are available at data.gov and the raw data (including extra files for different classes of foods) are available at the data.gov site.

 

I'm also making this data set available here as a Excel file. Food-data.xlsx
