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 (33.9% DV), Copper (27.4% DV) and Pantothenic acid (B5) (24.8% 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 0.78 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 referenceCopper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 0.25 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 referencePantothenic acid (B5): fatty-acid and energy metabolism
This amount provides 1.24 mg. Pantothenic acid is needed to make coenzyme A, which is central to fatty-acid and energy metabolism. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceNiacin (B3): energy and cell function
This amount provides 3.49 mg. Niacin helps enzymes convert food into energy and supports normal cell function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceDietary fiber: digestion and fullness
This amount provides 5 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.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePhosphorus: bones and cellular energy
This amount provides 170 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Manganese
This amount provides 0.78 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.
