Bakery Ingredients Database: Nutrition Data for 41 Common Ingredients

By Robert Roessler, Food Scientist · Published 14 November 2026

A quick reference for the raw materials of a small bakery: protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy, fiber, sodium and water per 100 g, taken from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's FoodData Central. Use it for first calculations, recipe costing sheets and allergen planning. Every row shows its USDA identification number so you can check the original record.

How to read the tables

All values are per 100 g of the ingredient as listed by the USDA, in the "SR Legacy" data set of FoodData Central. They describe a generic food, not your brand. Flour protein, for example, varies by mill and harvest, so check your supplier's specification before you rely on a value.
Values are shown as published, with trailing zeros removed. Salt, baking soda and baking powder have very large sodium values, which is expected.
The allergen column names the allergen group that applies to the ingredient by its nature, using the US list of nine major allergens and the UK list of 14 allergens (see our guide to allergen labeling). A dash means no listed allergen is intended by the ingredient itself. Products can contain added ingredients or traces, so always read the label of the product you buy.
