The Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) score, developed by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, measures calcium; the carotenoids beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene; fiber; folate; glucosinolates; iron; magnesium; niacin; selenium; vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6, B12, C, and E; and zinc, plus the ORAC score X 2. Most importantly, the ANDI scores are based on calories, not volume or weight of food, so a lower-calorie food with more nutrients scores higher than a calorie-dense food.
On this scale, vegetables clearly win as the most nutritious foods. mustard greens, turnip greens, collards, cooked kale, and watercress all score 1000+.
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are big winners in nutrient density. Salmon (scores 39), tuna (46), trout (36), skim milk (36), oatmeal (53), brown rice (43), edamame (58), lentils (104), sunflower seeds (78), and even some fortified foods are also ranked for nutrient density.
