Where can I get nutrition information about food?
I am plannign on making an app that uses nutritional information about food, but finding good and reliable sources in the Internet for it is proving to be a challenge.
Every website displays different values of proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals for the same fruits (for example or bananas) and the one website I though I could use (FDA) does not have such information.
I am looking for a reliable source which contains this kind of information for raw fruits and vegetables, but I have no idea where to start.
Does anyone here know a good reliable gov source or independent source that can provide this information for me?

This question, as worded, is off-topic. But, since I've written such a program in the past, I'll point you to what I used. The USDA maintains a Nurtient Database that can be downloaded. If memory serves me, it's large and is distributed in several parts. There is documentation to help you decipher each part of the download.
