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.

Whole grain rice with a nutty flavor and chewy texture, rich in fiber and nutrients.
Labels:
Shahi Paneer with Chickpeas and Brown Rice
Soft paneer and chickpeas sit in a mild, silky onion, cashew, almond and yogurt sauce. Cardamom and saffron give the pale gravy its restaurant-style aroma without tomatoes.
Brown Rice Risotto with Tempeh, Mushrooms and Peas
Brown rice keeps a pleasant bite while silken tofu and Parmesan turn the cooking liquid into a glossy sauce. Seared tempeh and browned mushrooms bring deep savoury flavour, with peas added late for sweetness and colour.
Lentil and Tofu Balls with Green Beans and Brown Rice
Baked lentil and tofu balls have a rough, browned exterior and a soft centre seasoned with tomato paste, smoked paprika, and oregano. Brown rice and lemon-dressed green beans turn them into a complete plate.
Rice & Lentil-Stuffed Eggplants
Roasted eggplant halves hold a soft filling of brown rice, lentils, tomato and cottage cheese, with walnuts for crunch and parsley at the finish. The rice makes it substantial, while the lentils give the filling more shape than a mound of starch. Recipe from our good friend Jamie Oliver.
