Density 58 · +36 vs Sausage & deli meats medianScrapple posts a Nutrient Density Score of 58 of 100, a Fair result that still places it 6th of 60 in the sausage and deli meats category, well clear of the group's median score of 22. Its standout figure is vitamin A at 70% DV, backed by more modest protein at 16% DV and iron at 11% DV.
This is a Mid-Atlantic breakfast staple made from pork scraps and cornmeal, traditionally sliced and pan-fried until crisp on the outside. A cubic-inch serving is small, which matters because the food runs high in sodium at 482 milligrams per 100 grams, so it's typically eaten alongside eggs or toast rather than as a stand-alone dish.
