ravinteellisesti

Ravinteellisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "nutritionally" or "in terms of nutrients." It is used to describe something in relation to its nutritional content or value. For example, one might say that a certain food is "ravinteellisesti rikas," meaning it is rich in nutrients. Conversely, a food could be described as "ravinteellisesti köyhä," indicating a lack of nutritional value.

The term is frequently encountered in discussions about diet, health, and food labeling. When evaluating food products, their "ravinteellinen arvo" (nutritional value) is a key consideration. This value is determined by the presence and quantity of essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats within the food.

In a broader context, "ravinteellisesti" can also refer to the way in which something contributes to or affects the nutrient balance in a system, such as soil or an ecosystem. For instance, the addition of a fertilizer might be described as improving the soil "ravinteellisesti." The concept emphasizes the qualitative and quantitative aspects of nutrient composition and availability.
