Food Rankings – the food table with rank
Find the right foods & nutrients with a single number: our food table shows you which foods best support your goal – including filters by nutrients, phytonutrients and season.
Food Secrets – your app with the smart food table with rank: find foods & nutrients for every goal, compare vitamins in foods, spot critical nutrients and build your personal healthiest foods list – fast & practical.
Complex calculation, simple result
The Food Rankings take into account >25 metrics (e.g. critical nutrients, vitamins, minerals) and important phytonutrients – based on independent meta-analyses. The database contains a total of >150 nutrient values per food.
Personal rankings
Favourite your favourite foods and optimise your personal ranking – for every goal & every nutrition list.
With one click on a ranking you land in the food table – already sorted by the best foods for your goal.
Easy to use
One click on the column header – and you see which foods and nutrients get you ahead fastest. This way you also fix nutrient deficiencies in a targeted way.
The food ranking bundles scientific metrics into one clear number per food. This way you compare vitamins in foods faster and fix nutrient deficiencies in a targeted way.
Foods & nutrients at a glance
Filter the food table by vitamins, minerals and critical nutrients (e.g. vitamin D, B12, iodine, iron, omega-3/ALA) – or by foods with especially many nutrients. More on fixing deficiencies in a targeted way: Fix nutrient deficiencies naturally.
- Vitamins in foods: e.g. vitamin C in berries, vitamin K in green leafy vegetables.
- Minerals: potassium, magnesium, selenium – sortable by food nutrients.
- The healthiest foods (list): the Food Rankings prioritise automatically for you.
Save foods – use your favourites
Valuable foods can be added directly from the table to your favourites or ingredient list – the basis for your personal healthy foods list.
Afterwards, with your favourite foods you can search recipes and analyse them – including a shopping list.
Quick overviews
- Food nutrients: sort by vitamins (A, C, D, K), minerals (potassium, magnesium) & phytonutrients.
- Healthiest foods list: the Food Rankings show the top foods per goal.
- Diet list (healthy): prioritise nutrient-dense, natural foods.
Phytonutrients & polyphenols – more than just vitamins
Besides vitamins & minerals, our food table also captures phytonutrients that are especially interesting in studies: quercetin, luteolin, genistein, EGCG (green tea), anthocyanins, resveratrol, curcumin (turmeric), sulforaphane (broccoli), lycopene (tomato), alliin (garlic), lignans (flaxseed), phenolic acids and more. In the Food Rankings you can prioritise these effect profiles.
Fermented foods, pre- & probiotics
The table flags fermented foods (e.g. sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, kefir, kombucha), prebiotics (e.g. inulin, resistant starch) & probiotics. You see at a glance which foods support your microbiome – including a MicrobiomeDefence rating.
Medicinal mushrooms & adaptogens
The database also marks medicinal mushrooms (e.g. shiitake, reishi, maitake, lion's mane) as their own category. So you can filter for them specifically in the food table and add them to your personal list as needed.
Wild herbs & seasonality
Wild herbs like nettle, dandelion & ground elder are often especially nutrient-rich. The table includes wild growth/herb filters as well as a season filter (e.g. main season from/to), so you can prioritise regional & seasonal foods.
Histamine & biogenic amines – filter smarter
Relevant columns such as histamine, biogenic amines, DAO blockers and histamine liberators help to plan histamine-sensitive nutrition. You can avoid problematic foods and find well-tolerated alternatives.
Allergy filter & cross-allergies (OAS)
With AllergyPotential and OAS fields (e.g. grasses, mugwort, birch, nuts) you recognise potential cross-reactions and can filter the food table specifically – practical for allergy sufferers.
Body systems & effect profiles
The rankings also relate to body systems (e.g. cardiovascular, digestion, nerves, muscles, skeleton, hormone system) and to defence profiles like ImmuneDefence, anti-angiogenesis, DNA defence or stem cell defence. This turns the nutrition list into a concrete plan per goal.
Sustainability & degree of processing
For conscious decisions: CO₂ impact and degree of processing give guidance on environmental and quality aspects – beyond the pure nutrient view.
Macro/micro scores & critical nutrients
Besides the Food Rankings you'll find carb/fat/protein scores & rankings as well as markers for critical nutrients. This way you fix deficiencies in a targeted way – see also Fix nutrient deficiencies naturally.

Yes – among others quercetin, EGCG, anthocyanins, resveratrol, curcumin, sulforaphane flow into the rating.
Which nutrients are taken into account?
Vitamins (A, C, D, K), minerals (e.g. potassium, magnesium, selenium), critical nutrients (e.g. B12, iodine, iron) and phytonutrients. The database contains over 150 nutrient values per food.
Does the table take phytonutrients into account?
Yes. Polyphenols & co. like quercetin, EGCG, anthocyanins, resveratrol, curcumin, sulforaphane, lycopene, alliin or lignans flow into the rankings.
How do I find fermented foods and pre- & probiotics?
Via dedicated labels (e.g. „Fermented“, „Prebiotics“, „Probiotics“) and filters in the food table.
Are medicinal mushrooms and wild herbs included?
Yes. Medicinal mushrooms are present as their own category; wild herbs are marked with wild growth/herb and can be further narrowed down with the season filter (main season from/to).
Does the app help with histamine intolerance?
Yes. Columns such as histamine, biogenic amines, DAO blockers & histamine liberators help to find well-tolerated alternatives and avoid critical foods.
Can I filter by body systems or effect profiles?
Yes. Rankings & filters for body systems (cardiovascular, digestion, nerves, hormones, muscles, skeleton, etc.) as well as defence profiles (immune, anti-angiogenesis, DNA, stem cell) are integrated.
Does the app include sustainability & processing?
Yes. CO₂ impact and degree of processing are captured – so you make conscious decisions beyond the nutrient view.
How do I use the Food Rankings in everyday life?
Choose a goal, sort by rank/nutrients, save favourites and implement with recipe import and a shopping list.
