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 (1,235% DV), Vitamin C (89.8% DV) and Magnesium (62.9% 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 28.4 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 referenceVitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 80.8 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 referenceMagnesium: energy, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 264 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 11.1 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 referenceVitamin B6: metabolism and brain development
This amount provides 1.01 mg. Vitamin B6 supports many enzyme reactions involved in metabolism, brain development and immune function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePotassium: fluid balance and muscles
This amount provides 1,720 mg. Potassium supports normal cell function, fluid balance, nerve transmission and muscle contraction. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Manganese
This amount provides 28.4 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.
