Density 60 · -21 vs Fruits & juices median

A raw nectarine scores 60 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, a Good band rating that still lands it 39th of 60 in fruits and juices, well below the category median of 81. It does not carry any single nutrient above the standout reporting threshold, reflecting its role as a low calorie, water-rich fruit at just 44 calories per 100 grams.

Eaten fresh out of hand or sliced into a salad or bowl of yogurt, a typical NLEA serving of 140 grams carries no sodium and about 7.89 g of natural sugar per 100 g, all from the fruit itself rather than any added sweetener. Its modest ranking here simply reflects that other fruits pack more vitamins and minerals per calorie, not any flagged downside to eating one.
