Coverage and limitations
- 181 of 790 relevant foods have a biotin (B7) value; 609 are not ranked because the source has none.
- All amounts are per 100 g of the food as described by the source record, in µg. Preparation is shown for every row and is never merged: the same food cooked differently is a separate record.
- Ranks are positions in this dataset only. Food composition varies by variety, season and processing.
- We do not show recommended intakes or health claims on this page. It is general information and not medical advice. Read more in About our data.
Questions about biotin (B7) in foods
- Which food has the most biotin (B7) in this dataset?
- Peanuts, dry-roasted has the highest biotin (B7) value in our ranking: 130 µg per 100 g (UK CoFID record 14-878#1936). This is the highest among the 181 foods with a value, not a statement about every food in existence.
- What do the numbers mean?
- Each value is the amount of biotin (B7) in µg per 100 g of the food as described by the source record, for the preparation shown on that row. The unit is µg.
- How complete is the data for biotin (B7)?
- 181 of the 790 relevant foods in our data have a biotin (B7) value (23%). 609 have no usable value and are not ranked; a missing value is never treated as zero. Because fewer than half have a value this is a list of foods that have data, not a ranking of all foods.
- Why are dried foods and spices listed separately?
- Dried foods, powders and spices are measured in a concentrated form, so they would outrank fresh foods per 100 g. We rank 11 such foods separately (the highest is Sorghum at 26.1 µg).
- Where do the values come from?
- One source record is used per food, in a fixed order: USDA FoodData Central (Foundation Foods, then SR Legacy), then UK CoFID, then the Canadian Nutrient File. Values are never averaged. In this ranking: UK CoFID (150 foods), USDA Foundation (24 foods), Canadian CNF (7 foods).
