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 (35.4% DV), Folate (12.3% DV) and Dietary fiber (6.8% 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 31.9 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 referenceFolate: DNA and cell division
This amount provides 49 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 referenceDietary fiber: digestion and fullness
This amount provides 1.9 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 referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 0.75 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 referencePotassium: fluid balance and muscles
This amount provides 309 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.
Read the NIH/FDA nutrient referenceVitamin K: blood clotting and bone metabolism
This amount provides 6.7 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Vitamin C
This amount provides 31.9 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.
