from
Nutripoints book {1991}
I don't think foods have changed much from when they did the calculations for arrive at these food "scores".
high score is a good thing - so best food choices are at the top of the list
veggies- highest to lowest
turnip greens chopped/cooked=79
spinach raw= 75 {see e coli warning thread}
bok choy raw /shredded = 72
mustard greens cooked =65
spinach whole leaf -frozen =57
beet greens cooked = 56
parsley fresh =54
I just noticed the serving sizes are different for some- getting complicated
- I'll just list the more mainstream foods and if anyone wants to know any specific food I can look it up- other wise it's a lot of typing
veggies- high to low points rating
spinach
broccoli
romaine lettuce
asparagus
peppers sweet red

Brussels sprouts
cabbage
green pepper
carrots

mushrooms
