• Choosing the Healthiest Foods for Your Family

    Welcome! I am a mom of a busy 8 year old and an adventurous 6 year old. I also happen to work for a great company called NuVal. NuVal is a nutritional scoring system that rates foods on a scale of 1-100, based on how nutritious they are. We are implementing NuVal in grocery stores around the country.

    NuVal may not be in your area yet. But I see the scores while they are "hot off the press" and because of that I am able to make better decisions about what to feed my family.

Frozen French Fries

Thursday, July 23, 2009 at 11:20 AM

At least once a week, I give the kids frozen French fries with dinner. This is my Monday night strategy, when I leave at the witching hour to go teach Pilates and my DH is in charge of overseeing the dinner-eating. I was feeling like I should not let my frozen French fry secret leak out to the Mother of the Year search committee, when lo and behold, I discovered that the fries I was serving actually got a score of 76! That’s right, Cascadian Farms French Fries get a 76 out of 100 on the NuVal scale. That’s pretty good when you consider that spinach gets a 100.

Here are how some of the other frozen French fries score:

Alexia Organic Yukon Gold Julienne Fries with salt 42

McCains French Fries Smiles 29

Ore-Ida Tater Tots, Seasoned Shredded Potatoes 23

McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries 14
