Yeast extract spread

Yeast extract spread scores 50 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks it 54th of 60 in the Vegetables category, well under the category median of 93. Even so, its nutrient density per 100 grams is striking: protein at 48% DV, potassium at 45% DV, magnesium at 43% DV, and fiber at 23% DV.

This is a savory spread used sparingly, a thin scrape on toast rather than a spoonful, and the standard reference serving here is just a teaspoon, 6 grams. That small serving size matters because sodium is extremely high at 3380 milligrams per 100 grams, so the practical intake stays low even when the per 100 gram figures look dramatic. Potato flour scores far higher in this category for anyone comparing vegetable adjacent options.
