nutritional value
Dietary benefit measure
Nutritional value is the measure of how beneficial a food is to health, based on its content of vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and other nutrients relative to calories.
Foods with high nutritional value deliver substantial nutrients without excessive calories: Leafy greens have excellent nutritional value.
The term often appears in comparisons: Fast food has little nutritional value compared to home cooking.
