Everything that doesn't fit neatly elsewhere — eggs, spices, specialty items.

42avg score

Other covers foods that don't fit the main buckets: eggs (a category unto themselves in most nutritional systems), herbs and spices, specialty items, and USDA entries that straddle multiple categories. Eggs in particular are one of the most nutrient-dense single foods tracked.

The catch-all nature of this category means its role varies. Eggs are a complete-protein breakfast staple rich in choline and B12. Spices and herbs contribute flavor with minimal calories. The shared thread is that these foods are typically consumed in small quantities relative to the main food groups.

Whole eggs consistently score 75-85 thanks to protein, B12, vitamin D, and selenium density. Spices are essentially nutritional neutral at typical serving sizes. Specialty items are case-by-case — treat each entry on its own merits rather than the category average.
