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 (79.6% DV), Vitamin E (70.7% DV) and Copper (34.2% 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 95.5 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 E: antioxidant and immune function
This amount provides 10.6 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 referenceCopper: iron metabolism and nerves
This amount provides 0.31 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 referenceZinc: immune function and repair
This amount provides 2.08 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 referencePhosphorus: bones and cellular energy
This amount provides 230 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 referenceCalcium: bones, muscles and nerves
This amount provides 207 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Vitamin K
This amount provides 95.5 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.
