Nutrients is an open access peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing reviews, regular research papers, and short communications on all aspects of nutrition.

It was established in 2009 and is published by MDPI.

Until September 2018, the editor-in-chief was Jonathan Buckley of the University of South Australia.

In 2018, Buckley and the other nine senior members of the editorial board resigned, claiming that MDPI "pressured them to accept manuscripts of mediocre quality and importance".

The current Editors-in-Chief are Maria Luz Fernandez and Lluis Serra-Majem.
