Food drop-down menu serving options, how do you do that?

Hey everyone,
I noticed in the food database that there are some foods, eg. Strawberries - Raw (and I think 'Banana- Raw') actually has an array of serving options to choose from. My question is, how do you do this?
I seem to have mastered that you can put let's say serving: 1/2 cup (40g) and then in the total servings the total amount, but how do you get that long list of servings like these foods have?
There are only a few that are presented this way and I'm just wondering how people did it. Would really help making the database smaller..
Thanks!

Those are the ones that are default in the system -- in other words, they were added by the website creators, not users.0
