MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Manganese (578% DV), Thiamin (B1) (157% DV) and Selenium (144% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Manganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes
This amount provides 13.3 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 referenceThiamin (B1): energy and cell function
This amount provides 1.88 mg. Thiamin helps turn food into energy and supports normal cell growth and function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceSelenium: thyroid and antioxidant defense
This amount provides 79.2 µg. Selenium supports thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection from oxidative damage. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 12.3 mg. Zinc supports immune function, DNA and protein synthesis, wound healing, growth and the sense of taste. 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 0.8 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 referenceVitamin B6: metabolism and brain development
This amount provides 1.3 mg. Vitamin B6 supports many enzyme reactions involved in metabolism, brain development and immune function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Manganese
This amount provides 13.3 mg. Manganese supports metabolism, bone formation and antioxidant enzyme systems. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
