Vegetables ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 435 vegetables products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs, last checked 2026-10-24.

What the vegetables numbers show

435 of the 449 vegetables products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 4.2g of protein per 100 calories. 29 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 15, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 20 to 490 per 100g inside this one group, a 24-fold spread, so “vegetables” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 5.2g of protein per 100 calories across 195 products, against 3.8g for the 240 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: SuperValu runs a median of 5.6g of protein per 100 calories across its 25 own-label vegetables products, Lidl 4.3g across 54.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as vegetables is not a protein food. The 29 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

9 of the 435 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Real vegetables products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
