A question you have asked yourself a thousand times, what are the nutrients found in the product label? I’ll tell you. The label breaks down the amount of calories, carbs, fat, fiber, protein, and vitamins per serving of the food contained in the package. But that is not the whole story. So for those that are not too timid or afraid, let’s go beyond the superficial information the government requires. Come with me and explore the dark underbelly of nutritional information. For us seekers of the truth, there is the Nutritional Density Rating (NDR) of Powerhouse Fruits and Vegetables.
If nutritional density was your main concern when preparing a salad would you opt for spinach or watercress? Spinach? WRONG!!
#1 on the NDR list is watercress with a rating of 100, followed closely by #2, Chinese cabbage at 91.99. Spinach doesn’t even enter the list until #5 with an NDR of 86.43.
What else does the government not want you to know?
