Density 51 · -12 vs Legumes & beans median

Reduced-sugar peanut spread scores 51 of 100, ranking 44th of 60 in the legumes and beans category, despite four excellent-tier nutrients: vitamin E at 54% DV, protein at 50% DV, magnesium at 39% DV, and dietary fiber at 28% DV.

It is a nut-butter alternative meant to cut added sugar while keeping the same spreadable texture, with a tablespoon (31 g) delivering that nutrient density at a calorie-dense 650 per 100 g. Saturated fat is the flag here, high at 10.2 g per 100 g, and given the score sits below the category's median of 63, meatless luncheon slices offer a lower-calorie, higher-ranked protein option for the same shelf.
