Where these numbers come from

USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 11529: “Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average”. USDA lists these household measures for it:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes = 149g
  • 1 cup, chopped or sliced = 180g
  • 1 Italian tomato = 62g
  • 1 cherry = 17g
  • 1 large whole (3" dia) = 182g
  • 1 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) = 123g
  • 1 slice, medium (1/4" thick) = 20g
  • 1 plum tomato = 62g
  • 1 small whole (2-2/5" dia) = 91g
  • 1 slice, thick/large (1/2" thick) = 27g
  • 1 wedge (1/4 of medium tomato) = 31g
  • 1 slice, thin/small = 15g
  • 1 NLEA serving = 148g

Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The tablespoon figure is the cup weight divided by 16, since USDA doesn't list a tablespoon for this ingredient. The teaspoon is a third of the tablespoon. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram.
