But I loved it. Also this has Shrimp removed, because it was on the OG chart due to an error and this is an updated version.

Raspberries? Oof I can't imagine great. But let's see.

$4 for 200 calories. So raspberries would be off the top at 2 dollars for 100 calories (just looking at nutrition label). Fresh has even worse.

Kumquat I can't find a solid price on, but given each fruit has about 13 calories, I can't imagine it's a good source of them.

So yeah those are for sure flavor and vitamin eats and not calorie eats XD
