Density 97 · +4 vs Vegetables median

Grape leaves score 97 of 100 for nutrient density, Elite band, closing out the top of Vegetables at rank 20 of 60. Vitamin A dominates at 153% DV per 100 grams, joined by fiber (39% DV), calcium (28% DV) and magnesium (23% DV), within a 93-calorie reference amount that's notably higher than most other raw vegetables in this batch.

Grape leaves are eaten cooked, most familiarly rolled around rice and herbs as dolma, rather than raw on their own, so the raw figures here describe the leaf before it's blanched and stuffed. A 100-gram amount carries 11 grams of fiber and 5.6 grams of protein, both solid for a leafy vegetable, with only 9 mg of sodium before any brine or filling is added.
