What does “% of daily reference” mean?

Codex Nutrient Reference Values are standard daily values for the general population older than 36 months, designed for nutrition labelling. The percentage shows how much this amount contributes to that daily reference; it is a comparison guide, not a personalised medical target. Vitamin D, iron and zinc use ranges because their Codex values depend on sunlight exposure or dietary absorption. Sodium and saturated fat are daily maximums; potassium is a daily target. A percentage is shown only when the stored nutrient matches the Codex total or equivalent. Codex does not define a separate daily reference for each individual fatty acid.

Recipes using this ingredient

Blueberry Skyr Overnight Oats with Chia and Hemp

10 min 8 h

A thick, chilled oat pot with tangy skyr, juicy blueberries and a nutty hemp finish. It delivers roughly 42 g of protein per serving without protein powder—the breakfast aisle’s usual attempt to turn drywall into a lifestyle.

High-Protein Sourdough Bread Pudding with Banana and Cinnamon

15 min 35 min 10 min

This is the kind of recipe that rescues stale sourdough before it completes its final transformation into a countertop weapon. The custard bakes up tender in the middle, bronzed on top, with little pockets of soft banana and a gentle almond note from de-oiled almond flour. Eggs and milk keep it solidly practical, the protein is respectable, and the ingredient list reads like an actual kitchen rather than a list of chemicals provided by Dupont & Dupont.

High-Protein Greek Yogurt Lavash

15 min 15 min 20 min

This lavash is thin, warm, and pleasantly chewy, with browned blisters from the pan and a faint tang from Greek yogurt. It lands in that useful middle ground between flatbread and emergency lunch infrastructure: more protein than the usual flour blanket, still simple enough to make at home. Good with dips, wraps, or torn straight from the board while it’s still steaming.
