An apple a day, might keep the doctor away, but it definitely doesn’t contain the most vitamins and minerals in comparison to other fruits! [OC]

Quince min-maxing on VitA

Um, sure the quince is right?

It's such an outlier that it feels like a potential measuring error. Especially since the first few nutritional charts I found for quinces dont mention Vitamin A at all.

The source website claims 4mg. Which apparently is a LOT relative to other fruits.

The only other source for Vitamin A in quinces I found was the USDA: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/168163/nutrients

I have no idea what half of this table means, but they list "Vitamin A IU" as 40 IU and "Vitamin A, RAE" as 2µg, which sounds possibly more reasonable?

There might have been a mix up there?

"Grape, blue"/"Grape, white"

Where I come from, we call them Red/Green. Then again, when I was in the middle east, we called them asfaar, or Yellow instead of green. Grapes are weird.
