Ranking herbs by nutrient density

Описание: Depending on the herb, they contain phenolic acids, terpenes, flavonoids, sulfur-containing compounds, carotenoids, and more. For example, sage, oregano, rosemary, and thyme are rich in rosmarinic acid; peppermint, basil, thyme, oregano, lavender, and rosemary contain ursolic acid; dill, spearmint, rosemary, and basil contain limonene; rosemary also contains rosmanol, naringin, cirsimaritin, and carnosic acid; cilantro contains lutein; chives contain kaempferol; parsley and celery leaf are rich in apiole; dill contains significant quercetin; and thymol and carvacrol are found in oregano.

They are ALL good choices and are ALL super nutrient-dense. But, here’s their Nutrivore Scores if you want to get super nerdy and rank them! Enoki=4434, shiitake=4343, maitake=3551, oyster=2550, crimini=2279, morel=2271, white-1872, chanterelle=1555, and portabella=1483. Morel and chanterelle in particular are missing some nutrient data, so these numbers should be considered an undervalue.
