Density 96 · +15 vs Fruits & juices median

Baobab powder tops the Fruits & juices category outright, ranking first of 60 with a 96 of 100 Nutrient Density Score, an Elite result. Per 100 grams it supplies 192% of the daily value for vitamin C and 159% DV for dietary fiber, with potassium and iron each at 47% DV.

The dried, tart pulp of the baobab fruit is sold as a powder and typically stirred into smoothies, yogurt, or water as a citrusy, slightly chalky addition rather than eaten on its own. No limits were flagged for this food, and with a maximum score already claimed in its category, there is no clear same-category alternative to suggest in this dataset.
