Calories in SuperValu Salad (Ireland)

SuperValu salad ranked by protein density

Showing the top 33 of the 33 SuperValu salad products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What SuperValu's salad looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 33 SuperValu salad products with usable figures is 2.1g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 2.1g median for salad across all 307 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the three chains carrying enough salad to compare, SuperValu comes second, behind Tesco on 2.4g.

The best SuperValu option here reaches 7.1g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider salad group something reaches 14.8g, so SuperValu is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 20 to 329 per 100g across the SuperValu salad range, a 16-fold spread, so “SuperValu salad” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in SuperValu

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 2.1g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Salad across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else SuperValu sells is the other half of the comparison.
