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 (144% DV), Manganese (74.8% DV) and Folate (51% 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 1.3 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 1.72 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 referenceFolate: DNA and cell division
This amount provides 204 µg. Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA and for normal cell division. 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 0.51 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 referenceIron: oxygen transport
This amount provides 7.39 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 referenceDietary fiber: digestion and fullness
This amount provides 10.8 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Copper
This amount provides 1.3 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.
