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.

Sweet Tikka Masala Spice Mix

10 min

A cozy, fragrant tikka masala-style spice mix with garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and a small touch of brown sugar to round out the edges. It is sweet-leaning rather than fiery, which is handy when feeding children, spice skeptics, or adults who talk big and then reach for yogurt. Make a small jar once, and future dinners get dramatically easier with very little emotional labor.
