GS does have its own entry in the USDA. Not sure how many others do.



I agree it would be great if the many main types were evaluated -- modern versions we get in the stores, maybe at the length of time they are normally purchased.



By that I mean they are being bred for things like shipping, and are often picked well pre-ripe. Something picked pre-ripe, boxed, shipped or trucked, that you eat some time after its picking, might have some different values than something picked when ideally ripe from the vine and evaluated right then.



I see the gaming of the USDA system already -- such as only providing the 'serving size' for evaluation (as opposed to a larger size they could divide into serving size) and which allows a label to come out saying something like 0 everything -- I have about five spices in my personal spreadsheet with the note "they hide it, USDA says 0 even for cups of it" -- so anything that can be done to game the system, food producers will.
