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 cauliflower Brussels sprouts cabbage green pepper carrots lettuce - butter head, Boston , bibb mushrooms loose leaf lettuce tomato radish peas n carrots frz mix squash butternut Last edited by Jomar; 05-21-2008 at 12:47 PM. Reason: clarifying the list |
