About thiamin in this data
Thiamin, also spelled thiamine, is vitamin B1; Calorie Tape lists it as “Thiamin (B1)”, in milligrams. The FDA’s Daily Value is 1.2 mg. Yeast and yeast extract are the densest foods in FNDDS, and meat substitutes, which often have B vitamins added, fill much of the per-serving list.
For what thiamin does in the body and how much people need, see Thiamin: Fact Sheet for Consumers, NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
How these lists work
- Foods. USDA’s generic foods, less baby foods, meal replacements, energy drinks, vitamin waters, mixed dishes such as sandwiches and soups, and recipe ingredients.
- Serving. One of FNDDS’s own portions, the one nearest the amount FNDDS assumes when someone doesn’t say how much they ate.
- One row per food. A food FNDDS lists several ways, such as baked, fried and grilled, shows once, at its highest.
Track thiamin in Calorie Tape
Calorie Tape logs every nutrient a food reports, thiamin included, and shows which foods your day’s thiamin came from. It works offline, needs no account, and keeps your log on your iPhone.
