What's in sardines?

After reading about sardines in the NY Times a few weeks ago, I bought a tin and ate some tonight. There wasn't any nutritional data on the tin, so of course I googled to find out. :-)

I found a cool website called NutritionData. While they get most of their information from the USDA's food and nutrient database, they present it in a really colorful and helpful way.

I was surprised by some of the information I found (e.g. the protein in pumpkin seeds is more complete than that in edamame; broccoli's protein profile is surprisingly complete as well).

Check it out the next time you feel like comparing the mineral content of spinach and green onions, lol.
