In order to maximize the amount of nutrients we take in, we need to eat foods that carry the greatest amount and variety of nutrients.
Here are 4 of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
1. Potatoes
Potatoes are nutrient-jammed and really one of the world’s most perfect foods.
A single large potato contains lots of Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Copper and Manganese… with plenty of vitamin C and most of the B vitamins.
They contain a little bit of almost every nutrient we need and there have been accounts of people living on nothing but potatoes for a long time.
They are also one of the most fulfilling foods in existence. When researchers compared the “satiety value” of different foods, boiled potatoes scored higher than any other food they measured.
If you cook the potatoes and then allow them to cool afterwards, they also form large amounts of resistant starch, which is a fiber-like substance with many additional health benefits.
2. Blueberries
Although not as high in vitamins and minerals as vegetables (calorie for calorie), the antioxidant content is where these tiny fruits really shine.
Blueberries are loaded with powerful antioxidants that protect our bodies from damage by unstable molecules called 'free radicals'.
In fact, they contain the highest antioxidant capacity of ALL commonly consumed fruits and vegetables.
The fact that they are colorful and taste good, and that the frozen ones are still very healthy, is just a bonus.
3. Salmon and Tuna
Not all fish is created equal. Salmon, tuna and other fatty types of fish contain the greatest amount of Omega-3 fats, which are extremely important for the optimal function of your body.
Other than omega-3s, fatty fish also pack a massive amount of other nutrients. For example, salmon is rich in high quality protein and contains a lot of vitamins and minerals… including large amounts of Magnesium, Potassium, Selenium and all the B-vitamins.
It's a good idea to eat fatty fish at least once or twice a week, to get all the Omega-3s that your body (and brain) desperately need.
In fact, studies suggest those who eat fatty fish regularly have a lower risk of heart disease, and maybe even dementia and depression.
4. Shellfish
Clams, oysters and various other types of shellfish are among the most nutritious foods available, yet people rarely eat them.
Clams are among the best sources of vitamin B12 in existence, with a 100 grams of clams supplying over 16 times the RDA or recommended dietary allowance.
Oysters are also incredibly nutritious; 100 grams of oysters supplies 6 times the RDA for Zinc, 2 times the RDA for Copper, along with large amounts of B12 and Vitamin D.
Shellfish can also be considered a great food for people who want to be as close to vegetarian as possible, while also getting most of the benefits of consuming animal foods. Because shellfish are considered non-sentient, which means they don't have the capacity to feel or perceive any sensations.

I've learned more from CZcams comments in one year - ironically especially on "expert's" channels - than anything I learned at school. It's changed my life
Really? Either your school was crap or you didn't pay attention...YT comments are pretty much 90% utter crap.
I'll take it you went to an Australian school?
@@mwnciboo if you think school or studies actually teach valuable knowledge you might up your own education
Me an Irish person : ‘YESS POTATOES!!’
Potatoes are energy packed. I am eating 1kg potatoes daily from 1 week and now I can do 100kg leg press and 35kg squats
Me as an English person - none for you
Russians : hold my vodka
@@alexcc8664 hahah savage
Im irish too
Thank you
Potatoes
Blueberries
Salmon & Tuna
Shellfish (clams, oysters, etc.)
so helpful, thanks for making this video
*Great information. thanks for providing this I was expecting liver to be on this list*
Me top 4 are raw fish eggs, raw oysters, raw liver and raw kefir milk. And whole sardines beast tuna and salmon because you eat there heart, liver etc so get the full nutrients. Blue berries are a great as fruits go but potatoes would not even make my top 10.
Your right, this 'expert' doesn't know what he's talking about, potatoes for example, they are NOT a nutrient dense food, our brains are so large because we ate the organs of other animals such as liver, heart, testicles and brain.
have you heard of the degeneration theory? it's true but not in the sense of cultural or racial, etc 'corruption' as that is baseless and meaningless in the animal kingdom.
The theory is true but is due to the lack of nutrient dense raw animal products that for most of human history we consumed in large quantities and regularly as a part of our species specific diet and now has all but abruptly come to a halt.
we are now seeing the physical and mental degeneration which is having a compounding effect on each consecutive generation that comes after it.
we have been told that bacteria is to be feared, that animal products are carcinogenic and dangerous for our health, and to be limited.
That is all a lie, the ones who know, know. Weston A Price & Aajonus.
We see it everywhere, veganism being pushed on people by coporations that have no care for others or the animals they claim to care about, they care simply about how deep their pockets can go. Advertisments and Vegan gatherings funded by sugar companies which don't care about your health or what is truth or not.
They will even go as far to doctor medical studies, falsifying information to fit their agenda for profits, veganism being a branch of the seventh-day Adventist Church who are vegetarians and are known to support/fund vegan studies.
Look at a picture of your grandparents or even great grandparents if you can, look at them. Look at them. What do you see?
strong cheekbones, Imposing, tall and strong, big burly men who look nothing like you. Women who are absolutely beautiful and have perfectly well proportioned bodies.
They aren't overweight, they aren't mentally ill and decided they were the 8th gender from the sun or whatever, they lived harsh lives and had to be strong to live through it, they had to eat well, they had to toil and graft to survive.
Look at what they ate. Even If they consumed pasteurised/cooked animal products they ate them in far larger quantities than you did and weren't brainwashed to believe it would kill them, they also ate the organs of the animals they killed or bought, it Is a well known thing in butcher's up and down the country that it's only the 'oldies' that go for liver or heart, the organs.
what I'm trying to convey is that for you to know the truth, and I mean the absolute truth about anything all you have to do is this.
remove human constructs from the argument and that goes for religion and morality, and also do not accept government Information as fact, you shouldn't trust anyone but yourself with finding out if the information presented to you is truth or not, cross reference information for yourself, test it yourself, don't let yourself be fed quite literal human sewage that is spewed from some peoples mouthes, trust your senses, trust your instincts, learn to live life without doubting yourself, you will find your gut is most of the time right.
Take a look around, people are so unhealthy today, they look ill and are aging prematurely and with (mental) and physical diseases.
That isn't normal. How we live today is not healthy, we would be healthier as nomadic hunter gatherers, rejecting civilization and returning to savegry, a noble, healthy and well adjusted savage at that.
no disease, no premature deaths, no mental illnesses and live happily, even knowing that if you met your end, even violently, at least you met it in an open field, under the stars/sun and not down some dinghy alleyway or some hospital bed being fed poison.
@@tanjaeubanks yeah whatever.
Hahahaha. Wow. How incredibly wrong you are!
@@whistlingwhistler9583 Nice post. I only just recently learned about the high nutrition density of organ meats. How can we eat RAW animal organs without getting bacteria/food poisoning? Thanks.
I have always loved potato. When I got sick 4 years ago potato were one of the only foods that I would eat. And now fully recovered they are Still an absolute favorite. When I was younger once I went to a restaurant where there were 5 courses to pick from to make a meal, and I picked 5 different types of potatos😅 mashed potato, fries, hashbrowns, sweet potato tots, it was.. alot.
Okay asta
Potato has nicotine in be careful the government are evil hahaha 😁🙏
when you said potatoes it was over
Lmao... I was about to write this same thing. Esp not being organic ....
TheKnowledgeThurst 😂
made my day
I stop eating potatoes years ago.
We are supposed to eat different coloured potatoes, we need variety in what we eat.
Thanks Joe! 🙏. But what about Liver i heard they are the most nutrient dense than any of these you mentioned.
Milled Flaxseed for Omega 3, no need for fish. Fish also if farm raised are not healthy due to there diets.
You can't get enough Omega 3 from flaxseed. ALA has to be converted to DHA and the conversion rate is very low. I agree farmed fish in most cases are a bad choice but there are some exceptions. Farmed shellfish in particular are actually more nutrient dense because they can be supported and provided lots of nutrition that would not always be available in the wild.
Nutritional supplement as an alternative to fish oil: DHA from algae. Another vegan source of omega 3.
@@mpgamer55 Exactly what I wanted to educate that guy. You said it for me. Thanks.
Yeah farm raised fish also live in their own excrement very often.
You mention Tuna and not Sardines??? Just LOL
Am I supposed to believe that potatoes and blueberries are more nutrient dense than fatty fish and shellfish?
Yes. He calculates on micronutrients per calories, not per unit of weight. There was massive industry pressure to use per-weight statistics when the FDA first started to assess food values (partly promoting obesity now, bc how much it weighs doesn't affect health but how many calories and the micronutrient content sure does.) The fats in those foods are almost all NOT Omega-3s. Shellfish live on the seafloor in nature and their job is to either eat from the slow rainfall of dead swimmer-type sea life, such as crabs and lobster, or to filter out pathogens and toxins, such as clams and oysters. Others have mentioned the metals, pesticides and petroleum accumulations in the tissues of top-of-food-chain species. No thanks to eating any farmed or wild sea life for me.
Yes, 💯 for the blueberries and NO for the potatoes.
@@MaggiespinozaYOU MONSTER, FRIEZA!
_how can you diss a perfectly good potato..._
Fish is mainly plastic and metal but ok
Forget the fish, get the nutrients straight from the source: algae
FORGET ALGAE, GET ENERGY RIGHT FROM THE SOURCE: THE SUN
But we cannot digest them. Japanese can after thousands of years of eating them .
Dude, one time I was on acid and I was about to eat an oyster and he was like, "Bro, don't eat me. I want to go to college," so I'm not sure they aren't sentient.
1.meat organs
2.shell fishes
3.fatty fishes
4.red meats
5.cruciferous vegetable
6.leafy greens
7.fermented vegetables
8.mushroom
9.nutritional yeast
10.berries
Shellfish also season themselves. Salty and tender.
Just eat vitamins every few seconds
Where dem eggs at?
eggs no good unfortunately, too much cholesterol, dietary cholesterol directly linked to blood cholesterol, and that is directly linked to cardiovascular disease. Anyone who disagrees is a communist.
Thanks to me for save your time.
1 potato
2 blueberries
3 fatty fish salmon
4 Shelfish
What happened to greens? Like broccoli, spinach, kale etc
See article in description
their "super food" moniker is a myth when compared to steak or eggs.
LOL
Eat it! I still eat meat but focus on much smaller quantity - higher quality (grass fed, humane, etc) meat and eat TONS of dark green, cruciferous vegetables and noticed a huge increase in energy, gym gains, skin quality, youthful appearance, libido / sexual performance, cognitive ability, and overall better mood. Standard American diet focusing on meat and eggs has proven to lead to inflammation, cancer, faster aging, dementia, and much more- of course you’ll always have miracle pharmaceutical meds to help you barely reach retirement so chow down on those burgers and processed meats!
@Alan Parson I'm a White Nationalist... and I can read a nutrition label. Does that count?
Good to know this about potatoes.
shelfish excludes me from this eating plan, since it is not kosher. and blueberries and sweet potatoes are questionable because of their relatively high carbs content
BEE POLLEN...... LOOK IT UP
Rick Cell and may help for some allergies 👍
My ex ate tuna regularly. He got dementia at the age of 65 and was gone by the time he was 70. He did have high levels of mercury in his brain.
Sorry for you’re loss. Yes tuna should not be eaten everyday nor consistently.
Interestingly I've always had a sense that tuna no longer is that healthy due to heavy metal contamination, which is cumulative.
POTATOS ARE FULL OF NICOTINE ,, SO I WOULDN'T BOTHER LMAO 😂🙏
thank you
Shilajit, moringa, cacao, marine phytoplankton, coconut, pasture raised eggs, bee pollen / royal jelly, non pasturised milk from goats or cows, ashwagandha and ormus to name a few.. these foods have outstanding nutritional profiles.
Yeah cause they sell this at piggley wriggly. ......
I'm looking for micronutrients per calorie, and several of these are weak in that respect
Potatoes????
That’s absurd.
How about liver??? It’s one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
Exactly! Same old BS being sold to an inflamed and obese public... for shame.
Liver? Isnt that zombieish?
@@TheMilford people are obese because of all the saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt, also no exercise……potatoes are extremely good for us. Why don’t you put it to the test? Eat nothing but liver for a month. Go get lab work done. Then eat potatoes for a month. Go get lab work done and compare. Keep eating liver and you’ll get gout. Eat potatoes and you’re good 🤷🏻♀️ get educated David.
@@TheMilford well, you’re not supposed to get your potatoes from a fast food chain lmao
@@sleepygirll your a buffoon let's see your test. Potatoes are full of starch and lead to candida, yeast infection ect. You need glucose/carbs but potatoes is last place you want to get them from. Ancient grains like Amaranth, buckwheat are much better. Not to mention a patstoe has been breed and modified for flavor not nutrition buffoon. Why are you gate keeping? Grass fed liver does not cause gout buffoon.
RDA? what is it??
Potatoes
Blueberries
Tuna and Salmon
Shelfish- clams, oysters, etc
Great tips! Can you make a vid on the benefits of potassium related to natural energy? I've been really interested in this lately!
If you count calories as nutrients, uranium tops the board. Its low on the micros but makes up for it in calories.
where is beef liver
Venison even moose would be more nutrient dense......i suppose lamb and venison
Thank you so much for making this video I absolutely love potatoes and I hate the shame from the diet industry about how bad potatoes are. My body loves potatoes and craves them all the time and when I was pregnant craved them so much. So this video is so encouraging. I'm definitely looking forward to adding organic potatoes back into my diet. I can already feel how happy my body is from that statement
We're is liver and beef? They are the top nutrient dense foods on the planet.
Baked potato.Kale.Blackberry. Saradines, oysters.Chia seeds, Flax seeds.Lentils, black beans. Avocado.Coconut meat +water. Lambs liver.Ginger+Lemon. Green juices.
What is a budget?
Beef liver??????
I thought the same thing. Should have been number 1
This list is shit
@@miggy2002 like every other list on youtube, where they say that grains, blueberries and kale are the healthiest foods.
Hmm, Moringa?
King of the vegetables- sweet potato
The War on Meat is real.
Nice
Moringa
What about beef liver?
I try to put more veggies 🥦🥕🥔on my plate and shellfish, turkey, chicken and veal instead of pork or beef
how is there no meat or eggs?
I'm sorry but just a fact, that yes, shellfish can feel. If you have ever had live oysters all you have to do is delicately touch their edge and they will pull away from your touch instantly. Same with other shellfish I have picked myself straight from the beach. I 100% encourage people to eat healthy with plants and fish I was pescatarian for 10 years but I wouldn't say a shelfish "feels nothing" so "it's okay". It's more like people who want to be vegetarian mostly, and eat fish occasionally say fish is okay because it's not red meat or white meat it's different. It's far from mammals..... Anyway I'm not trying to put you off shelfish because they are delicious but just don't fool yourself with "they can't feel" when the reasoning for choosing to eat fish and fruit/vegetables only is for a number of reasons.
Rot in hell
The potatoes mean they are first in chart they are densest of nutrition?
When I was seriously I’ll for a long time the only thing I could stomach was mashed potatoes, yes and blueberry. Unfortunately I am fish intolerant, so this was out.
almost left the second he said calorie budget… im researching gains sir.
Chinese broccoli, Swiss chard, bell peppers, blueberries, yams, eggs, liver, nuts ...These are the most nutrient pack food that you will definitely help fight cancer to help you live to at least 80.
And if you have to have a meat source.. fish from the ocean. Yiu wont have to eat anything else...
Can't wait to get my hands on the non-specific variety of salmon recommended which would include farm raised, also tuna one of the largest edible Mercury/toxin concentrating, sequestered particularity in its fatty tissue (Omega-3) fish in the ocean.. nevertheless there were other good recommendations but let's try and be more responsible going forward, thanks for the info.
Organs, specifically liver
I totally get it, the clicks, the likes the $$$. But just imagine if you will for a second, before disseminating this info, doing a little more research, then it's a win-win, the information is accurate and as a result even more clicks more likes and more $$$... And most important of all, better health.
Can I live entirely off of these things
And milk?
I looked up top nutrient dense foods and the same thing showed up smh
What about sprouts????
Potato and milk are the most nutritious foods
I’m sorry but it looks like you pulled these four items out of your ars lol
Sea moss ?
Should we count water soluble vitamin and minerals for potato?
Is algae eater seafood is so healthy why not try Algae?
Can you do one for breastfeeding.
Where you eat little and get max healthy calories.
Thanks
RAW BEEF LIVER IS THE SINGLE MOST NUTRITIROUS FOOD.
Yes but most people I know do not like the taste or eat it so we look for the next most nutritious food
Was this a joke?
🙏🏻 I thought samething
potatoes are the most heavily pesticide loaded vegetable.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hell yea pretty much my daily intake
i love potatoes
All things I eat and enjoy but I've been staying away from potatoes in my fat loss journey.
I do a 40 hour fast twice a week and was wondering what foods were rich and nutrients so that I don't suffer any effects of malnutrition.
Thank you
What's "chu-na"?
Whereabouts in Australia are you from?
Potatoes..really? why do they get so much hate in the press? (along with other "white foods") this is good news, I love potatoes!
Yes, it is good news as I love them also. Interesting information about shellfish too.
I think they get a bad wrap because usually potatoes are marketed as...french fries, tater tots, loaded baked potato, etc.. All fried and all of those lead to bacon bits, ranch dressing, sour cream and other high calorie side items. Boiled white potatoes or baked potatoes by themselves are great for you for all the reason he listed. Not to pretty smart though, so I could be wrong..
Warren Viegas *pale foods. this guy is a degenerate
All we got to do now is blend together.
I don't really like the taste of potatoes, but sweet potatoes are my favorite!
They're actually more nutrient dense than regular potatoes
What about Matt Lalonde's work on nutrient density which shows organ meats and herbs and spices as the most nutrient dense foods ?? Much higher than potatoes, or blueberries
And seaweed? It is the most nutritious ever.
No
Maybe these are nutrient dense, but definitely not the most nutritious foods on the planet.
Blueberries are not anti-inflammatory for everybody could be poisonous for some people and the cause of not losing weight
Are you not getting mixed up with blueberry muffins bro
Well, I love all of the food that was included in this list, so great news for me 😊
How about bitter melon
Forgive me guys...but no clams or oysters. Shrimp yes
Fish often contain high levels of mercury, and there are no safe fish from the Pacific since Fukushima.
You said "use our calorie budget wisely" but you select based on nutrients per volume or weight or serving. When you really select on micronutrients per calorie, leafy greens are the superstars and fatty fish don't make the cut. I think in terms of micronutrients per calories. Protein as a nutrient leads me toward a whole lot of saturated fat. Sugar could be a "nutrient" (carbohydrate is a macronutrient) promotes inflammation. "Nutrient-rich" per WHAT is the key.
Niceeeeeee
Butter
SpongeBob has left the chat....
Where's spirulina!?! :O
At the health food store.
I thought tuna was a lean fish as opposed to salmon.
Seriously? Potatoes and blueberries before organ meats? This must be a joke 😂
hahaha.. we would look like Dr McDougall on his starchy diet .:)
Agreed. I can see blueberry for its Orac value but potatoes are an absurd choice for this list. Organ meats, especially liver, easily top the list.
potatoes, blueberries, salmon and tuna, shellfish, yup but theres a lot of greens like kale or spinach, and also others foods that are denser in nutriments than those
Listen if you want real concerntrated nutrition then here you go
Chlorella
Camu Camu
Fulvic acid
Maqui berry
Yes! Maqui Berry! I use it daily - such an amazing antioxidant.
Seaweed
I will have a ribeye rare with a side of liver, hold the fava beans please.....We are carnivore
a pack of digestive biscuits with a cup of tea..
The fact that liver or any other organ meat isn’t on here is absurd also a potato may have a variety of minerals but it’s 99% starch and the people who historically lived of of nothing but potato’s were not living a healthy life and seriously lacked substantial amounts of protein
Or eggs.
What about spirulina? And eggs?
You are talking about micro nutrient dense foods. If we talk about overally nutrient dense foods, we have to count macro nutrient too. That would create top 10 list of foods with only fish, meat, steak beef, animal organs etc. Homo sapiens thrive the best with this top 10 list. Sure fruit and berries are wondeful superfoods. Potatoes are great until you fck em' up with seed oil making them fries. 👍
potatoes 😂😂😂 you can get more nutrients out of milk lol
