​
The Andi Score
The next time you're in a Whole Foods store, walk over to the produce section, and look at the price of any type of fresh unbagged item in that department.  On the price tag, you will notice a small number to the left, this is called the Andi Score.  The Andi Score scores a fruit or vegetable from 1-1,000.  The number indicates the nutrient density in that particular item.
