Lowes Foods is pleased to provide nutrition information that is so simple it will make your day! The NuVal™ Nutritional Scoring System is a food scoring system that helps you see at a glance the nutritional value of the foods you buy. The NuVal™ System rates all foods and beverages on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the NuVal™ Score, the better the nutrition. Scores are displayed directly on shelf tags and other signage throughout the store so you can make quick and easy nutritional comparisons between foods. Click here to learn more.

Spring Foods are Fresh, Fast and Affordable!

Eating a wide variety of foods is a smart strategy all seasons of the year. Spring offers a perfect time for a new start with healthier choices that are fresh, fast and affordable!

Fresh means late season oranges, strawberries, kale and radishes. Make a fruit salad with all your favorites and add some chopped fresh mint for an aroma and flavor that pops. Fast means a slice of whole grain, or gluten free bread spread with soynut, almond or peanut butter. Affordable means learning a few cooking skills so that your meals are simple, colorful and homemade. Try a fresh stir-fry, veggie burrito or on-the-grill, modestly priced favorite.
