Calories in SuperValu Vegetables (Ireland)

SuperValu vegetables ranked by protein density

Showing the top 26 of the 26 SuperValu vegetables products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

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

Median across the 26 SuperValu vegetables products with usable figures is 6g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 4.6g median for vegetables across every chain and brand in the database, which is 395 products.

Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the four chains carrying enough vegetables to compare, SuperValu comes second, behind Dunnes Stores on 6g.

The best SuperValu option here reaches 12.4g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider vegetables group something reaches 14.8g, so SuperValu is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 25 to 247 per 100g across the SuperValu vegetables range, a 10-fold spread, so “SuperValu vegetables” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in SuperValu

Most of what is sold as vegetables is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

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

Where this fits

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

Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so scan it with the label checker.
