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 (27.4% DV), Copper (21.3% DV) and Magnesium (15.2% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.

Manganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes

27.4% adult DV in 100 g
MetabolismAntioxidant enzymes

This amount provides 0.63 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 reference

Copper: iron metabolism and nerves

21.3% adult DV in 100 g
Iron metabolismNervous system

This amount provides 0.19 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 reference

Magnesium: energy, muscles and nerves

15.2% adult DV in 100 g
Energy metabolismMuscle and nerve function

This amount provides 64 mg. Magnesium supports enzyme reactions, energy production, protein synthesis, and normal muscle and nerve function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Read the NIH/FDA nutrient reference

Phosphorus: bones and cellular energy

12.2% adult DV in 100 g
Bones and teethCellular energy

This amount provides 152 mg. Phosphorus helps form bones and teeth and is involved in energy production and cell membranes. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Read the NIH/FDA nutrient reference

Folate: DNA and cell division

10.5% adult DV in 100 g
DNA synthesisRed blood cells

This amount provides 42 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 reference

Dietary fiber: digestion and fullness

10% adult DV in 100 g
Digestive systemBowel regularity

This amount provides 2.8 g. Dietary fiber supports digestion, adds bulk to stool, and can help with fullness. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

MEASURED CONTRIBUTIONS AND REVIEWED RECORDS

Food-specific benefits & evidence

High in Manganese

27.4% adult DV in 100 g

This amount provides 0.63 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.
