Density 21 · -19 vs Baked goods median

Apple strudel lands at 21 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Low band placement and rank 52 of 60 within Baked goods, since its thin pastry layers and cooked apple filling contribute mostly carbohydrate and sugar with little in the way of standout nutrients.

Strudel is typically served as a warm dessert or with coffee, sliced into wedges and sometimes dusted with sugar or paired with custard. A one-ounce portion is a reasonable way to enjoy it, but it is high in sugars at 25.8 g per 100 g, and since its score sits below the Baked goods median of 40, Marie biscuit cookies are a same-category option worth trying instead.
