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 (117% DV), Vitamin A (41.7% DV) and Folate (9% 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 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 A: vision and immune function
This amount provides 375 µg. Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune function, growth and cell development. 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 36 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 referenceManganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes
This amount provides 0.2 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 referenceIron: oxygen transport
This amount provides 1.2 mg. Iron is needed for hemoglobin and myoglobin, which carry oxygen, and supports growth and neurological development. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceRiboflavin (B2): energy and cell growth
This amount provides 0.08 mg. Riboflavin helps convert food into energy and supports cell growth, development and function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Vitamin K
This amount provides 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.
