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 (14.7% DV), Vitamin C (10.2% DV) and Niacin (B3) (6.8% 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 0.13 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 referenceVitamin C: collagen and antioxidant function
This amount provides 9.15 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 referenceNiacin (B3): energy and cell function
This amount provides 1.08 mg. Niacin helps enzymes convert food into energy and supports normal cell function. 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 1.88 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 referenceVitamin B6: metabolism and brain development
This amount provides 0.11 mg. Vitamin B6 supports many enzyme reactions involved in metabolism, brain development 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 0.15 mg. Manganese supports metabolism, bone formation and antioxidant enzyme systems. This describes the nutrient’s normal role, not disease prevention or treatment.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
Contributes Copper
This amount provides 0.13 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.
