Density 8 · -1 vs Sweets median

Fruit syrup scores 8 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Low band ranking 33 of 60 in Sweets, just under the category median of 9, with no standout vitamins or minerals tracked and 341 calories per 100 grams.

It is poured over pancakes and waffles or stirred into sparkling water and cocktails for fruit flavor. A cup serving is 334 grams, a generous pour for something this concentrated, and it is essentially all sugar, at 53 grams per 100 grams, so it is worth using by the tablespoon rather than the cup.
