Density 72 · +32 vs Baked goods median

This bread scores 72 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Good band result that ranks 2nd of 60 in Baked goods, far above the category's median of 40. It stands out for calcium at 53% of the Daily Value, dietary fiber at 33%, iron at 27%, and protein at 21%, an unusually broad spread for a bread.

This is standard sliced sandwich bread, the kind used for toast or a simple sandwich, with one slice (28 g) as the typical serving. At 9.2 g of fiber and only 5 g of sugar per 100 g it reads better than many baked goods, but sodium runs high at 478 mg per 100 g, so it is worth factoring into daily salt totals if eaten regularly.
