Default TOP 20 foods per type- fun & interesting

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
