Nutrient lists: foods ranked by what they contain
Quick answer
24 ranked lists of foods by a single nutrient, each computed from USDA FoodData Central values per 100 g.
Each list answers one question, such as which vegetables have the most protein or which fruits have the fewest calories, by ranking the foods in the CalorTracker food database on a single nutrient. The tables are computed, not written: every value is the USDA FoodData Central figure for that food, ranked the same way every time, and every list says which foods it considered and why a food was left out.
Values are per 100 g unless a list says otherwise, so a row describes a standard weight, not a serving. 24 lists are open, and more arrive as the food database grows. Open a food from any table for its calories, portions and full nutrient panel.
