USDA nutrient database down - any other sources?

The U.S. Agriculture Department's online nutrient database is offline, presumably because of the lack of government appropriations. Does anybody have any non-government sites they use to check MFP database entries against?

Look for the entries without an asterisk, these are built into MFP, most of them from the USDA nutrient database.

I've used it for more than a year. It appears to be an extract from the USDA DB. There's even a search widget for Firefox, and perhaps other browsers.

Thanks for the site recommendations.
