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 K (648% DV), Vitamin A (56.4% DV) and Vitamin C (38.9% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Vitamin K: blood clotting and bone metabolism
This amount provides 778 µg. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and proteins involved in bone metabolism. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin A: vision and immune function
This amount provides 508 µg. Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune function, growth and cell development. 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 35 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 referenceVitamin E: antioxidant and immune function
This amount provides 3.44 mg. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and supports normal immune function. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceRiboflavin (B2): energy and cell growth
This amount provides 0.26 mg. Riboflavin helps convert food into energy and supports cell growth, development and 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 0.17 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
High in Vitamin K
This amount provides 778 µg. Vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting and proteins involved in bone metabolism. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
