As you know, almost all non-starchy vegetables and many fruits have significant health benefits – but some pack more nutritional punch than others. Researchers at William Paterson University analyzed and ranked fruits and vegetables based on their nutrient density. Guess what the top five were?
Did you know scientists use nutrient profiling to determine which fruits and vegetables are most nutrient-rich? Of course, all non-starchy vegetables and fruits are nutritious and contain natural compounds that promote health – but which is more nutrient dense? Find out what a study showed.
What if someone prepared a list of the most nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables? What would be at the top of the list? William Paterson University in New Jersey took on the challenge and you might be surprised at what veggie was number one.
