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 C (14.4% DV), Dietary fiber (10.4% DV) and Riboflavin (B2) (8.5% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Vitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 13 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 referenceDietary fiber: digestion and fullness
This amount provides 2.9 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 referenceRiboflavin (B2): energy and cell growth
This amount provides 0.11 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.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 0.61 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 referenceThiamin (B1): energy and cell function
This amount provides 0.04 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 referencePantothenic acid (B5): fatty-acid and energy metabolism
This amount provides 0.13 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
Contributes Vitamin C
This amount provides 13 mg. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and supports collagen production, immune function and absorption of nonheme iron. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
