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 (11.7% DV), Zinc (5.4% DV) and Dietary fiber (3.6% 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 10.5 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 referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 0.59 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 referenceDietary fiber: digestion and fullness
This amount provides 1 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 referenceThiamin (B1): energy and cell function
This amount provides 0.03 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 referenceMagnesium: energy, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 10 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 referenceCopper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 0.02 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
Contributes Vitamin C
This amount provides 10.5 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.
