Nutrient Explorer
Pick a nutrient and a category — the ranked list updates instantly from the food database.
How it works
Choose a nutrient and, optionally, a category. Foods are ranked per 100 g — highest first, except calories and carbs, which rank lowest first. The per-serving column uses each food's typical serving.
Worked example: highest-protein foods in Proteins
Filter by Protein in the Proteins category and the top of the list reads Chicken Breast at 31 g protein per 100 g, followed by Turkey Breast at 30 g per 100 g — the same values shown on their food pages, ranked so you can see the gap at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
Why rank per 100 g instead of per serving?
Serving sizes differ wildly, so per 100 g is the only fair ranking. Per-serving values are shown alongside for real portions.
Why are calories and carbs lowest-first?
People usually explore those rankings looking for the lightest options, so the lowest values come first.
What if a food shows no value for a nutrient?
It is left out of that ranking — a missing value is not treated as zero.
Where do the numbers come from?
USDA-based data, the same database behind every food page on this site.
Conclusion
The Explorer is the fastest way to answer "which food has the most of X?" — then open the food page for the full table. Also try the fixed nutrient rankings.
