MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Copper (453% DV), Manganese (107% DV) and Magnesium (83.6% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Copper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 4.08 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 referenceManganese: metabolism and antioxidant enzymes
This amount provides 2.46 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 referenceMagnesium: energy, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 351 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 referenceIron: oxygen transport
This amount provides 14.6 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 referenceCalcium: bones, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 975 mg. Calcium helps form bones and teeth and supports normal muscle, nerve and blood-vessel 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 7.75 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Copper
This amount provides 4.08 mg. Copper supports energy production, connective tissue, iron metabolism, and normal nervous and immune function. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
