The 11 Most Nutrient Dense Foods on The Planet

There is only a limited amount of food you can eat in a single day.

In order to maximize the amount of nutrients you take in, it makes sense to spend your “calorie budget” wisely.

The best way to do that is to simply eat the foods that carry the greatest amount and variety of nutrients.

These are the 11 most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

Salmon, Kale, sea weed, garlic, shell fish, potatoes, liver, sardines, blue berries, egg yolks, dark chocolate. With exception of spuds all low carb. Even nature is on our side.

Not only nutrient dense but tasty and healthy too ! I do enjoy a nice piece of salmon, drizzled with chilli sauce. Did anyone ever find out if potato skins were lowish in carbs yet or not ?

Mo asked "Did anyone ever find out if potato skins were lowish in carbs yet or not ? "

Well remembered ...the only thing I can ever remember being told is that most of the goodness from potatoes came from their skin - but that was my dear mum talking


Love the sound of salmon drizzled in chilli sauce ...........

All the best Jan

Thanks for that. Not something I'd want regularly but maybe the occasional treat.

Just re-read this, and I do like Kris Gunnars Authority Nutrition Blog, .....definitely wouldn't choose potato though!

But interesting on the menu plan today is salmon, blue berries, egg yolks (and egg whites) dark chocolate, just a square.

I didn't buy any kale got broccoli instead - still with a good nutrition value.

Have you any of these 11 nutrient dense foods on your menu plans?

All the best Jan

Potatoes skins can be toxic if you eat too much. The history of potatoes is that they were first toxic even the Indians that cultivated them had to eat them with sand to prevent poisoning. Latter other strains of potato were made that had less alkaloids and could be eaten.
