MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Calcium (43.2% DV), Selenium (38.5% DV) and Phosphorus (26.5% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Calcium: bones, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 561 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 referenceSelenium: thyroid and antioxidant defense
This amount provides 21.2 µg. Selenium supports thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection from oxidative damage. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referencePhosphorus: bones and cellular energy
This amount provides 331 mg. Phosphorus helps form bones and teeth and is involved in energy production and cell membranes. 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 106 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 0.31 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 referenceVitamin B12: blood cells and nerves
This amount provides 0.61 µg. Vitamin B12 supports healthy blood cells, DNA synthesis and normal nervous-system function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Calcium
This amount provides 561 mg. Calcium helps form bones and teeth and supports normal muscle, nerve and blood-vessel function. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
