This ranking surfaces 200 foods that match the Foods Low in Cholesterol filter, defined by the rule Cholesterol ≤ 5mg per 100g (USDA SR/Foundation), drawn from the USDA FoodData Central database. Whole foods with 5mg or less cholesterol per 100g from USDA lab analysis — mostly plant foods (naturally cholesterol-free). The list is ranked by cholesterol, so the top of the page is where each food delivers the most impact against the filter. At number one sits Mothbeans, mature seeds, raw with 0.0mg of cholesterol per serving, giving you a concrete benchmark before you scroll.

Across the current page, the average cholesterol value works out to 0.0mg, with an average of 448 calories per serving. Comparing individual foods to these averages shows whether a pick is genuinely standout or merely borderline against the diet rule. Because the rule is applied consistently across every food in the database, raw ingredients, brand-name products, and USDA survey entries, you get an apples-to-apples ranking rather than curated editorial picks.

Each food title links to a full FDA-format nutrition label with macros, micronutrients, and daily values so you can drill past the headline rule into supporting context like sodium, fiber, and sugar. With 4 pages of matching foods, this ranking is suitable for meal planning, grocery list building, and cross-checking claims from diet books or social media. Values reflect the USDA's standardized per-serving reporting, and the guides linked from the site explain how to translate per-100g data into real plate portions, spot hidden sugars, and compare foods for healthier choices.
