MEASURED NUTRIENT ROLES
Top nutrients that support the body
For 100 g, the strongest Daily Value contributions among nutrients available in this record are Selenium (102% DV), Vitamin E (37.6% DV) and Riboflavin (B2) (35.9% DV). The cards explain the normal roles of those nutrients, not a treatment effect of the food.
Selenium: thyroid and antioxidant defense
This amount provides 55.8 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 referenceVitamin E: antioxidant and immune function
This amount provides 5.64 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 0.47 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.

Food-specific benefits & evidence
High in Selenium
This amount provides 55.8 µg. Selenium supports thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection from oxidative damage. This is a measured nutrient contribution, not proof that the food prevents or treats disease.
