MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Vitamin K (950% DV), Vitamin C (48.1% DV) and Manganese (38.5% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Vitamin K: blood clotting and bone metabolism
This amount provides 1,140 µg. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and proteins involved in bone metabolism. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 43.3 mg. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen production, immune function and absorption of nonheme iron. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceManganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes
This amount provides 0.89 mg. Manganese supports metabolism, bone formation and antioxidant enzyme systems. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceFolate: DNA and cell division
This amount provides 85 µg. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA and for normal cell division. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceCopper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 0.16 mg. Copper supports energy production, connective tissue, iron metabolism, and normal nervous and immune function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceCalcium: bones, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 215 mg. Calcium helps form bones and teeth and supports normal muscle, nerve and blood-vessel function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Vitamin K
This amount provides 1,140 µg. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and proteins involved in bone metabolism. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
