It is the measure of nutrients that a given diet provides relative to the energy it provides. The more nutrients and less kcalories a diet provides the higher is its nutrient density. For example, a can of cola and a handful of grapes may both give the same amount of Kcal but grapes provides us other nutrients too. Therefore, Grape is more nutrient dense then cola.
Mathematically, it is calculated as:
Nutrient density = (% of nutrient supplied) / (% of Kcal supplied)
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 (thiamin), 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.

Foods that are rich in nutrients relative to their energy contents are called foods with high?
nutrient density
Is there existences of nutrient in gas form?
It all depends on the density of the nutrient . the nutrient would half to be at such a density to be able to float in the air as gases do.
Nutrient density refers to food that?
Nutrient density refers to how nutritious a certain food can be. Nutrient density refers to all different kinds of foods.
The proportion of nutrients in a food compared to the number of calories is called?
Nutrient Density
What happens when water of a high density sinks?
When water of high density sinks, it displaces the lower-density water below it. This sinking motion can create vertical circulation in the water column, influencing ocean currents and nutrient distribution. Additionally, the sinking of dense water can contribute to the formation of deep ocean currents.
Definition for foliar Application?
Foliar fertilizers are fertilizers that are applied to boost nutrient density in crops and to correct nutrient deficiencies.
What is the definition of nutrient dense food?
Nutrient dense food- is defined as the density of nutrients to kcalories. Nutrient dense foods provide more nutrients relative to kcalories.
Which nutrient has the greatest caloric density?
Fats (lipids) have the greatest calorific density, whether they are oils or animal fats.
Nutrient with the highest energy density?
Fat. 9kcal/g
A measure of nutrients provided per calorie of food?
nutrient density
What has a high density?
Uranium has a high density.
Is liquid a high density?
no, Diamonds are high in density.
