Density 33 · -7 vs Baked goods medianGingersnaps score 33 of 100, a Low band result ranking 39th of 60 baked goods, but their standout is iron at 36% DV per 100 g, with smaller amounts of magnesium at 12% DV and protein at 11% DV.
These are the snappy, spiced cookies suited to dunking in tea or coffee, with a shelf-stable crunch that holds up in a lunchbox. An ounce (28 g) serving still carries 555 mg of sodium and 19.9 g of sugar per 100 g, and the score lands just below the baked goods category's median of 40; Crackers, milk is a lower-sugar option in the same category.
