Top 30 ANDI Super Foods

Do you know ANDI? If you love your super foods then you’ll love this new way to see just how much nutritional value is in the foods you eat.

Designed by Dr Joel Fuhrman, the ANDI score is based on how many nutrients is in each calorie of food. The ANDI score system awards points out of 1000 with collard, mustard and turnip greens, kale and watercress coming in as the healthiest of all foods. Nutrients include Calcium, Carotenoids, Lycopene, Fiber, Folate, Glucosinolates, Iron, Magnesium, Niacin, Selenium, Zinc, and Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E.

While you need more than just nutrients – fat and protein are essential to your health – Dr Fuhrman recommends getting 30-60% of your daily calories from this list, mostly made up of green vegetables.
