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.

Breadcrumbs are finely crushed dried bread used to add texture, bind ingredients, or create a crispy coating. They are commonly used in baked or fried recipes, veggie patties, gratins, meatballs, and breaded dishes. Their neutral flavor makes them easy to season with herbs, spices, garlic, or cheese.
Lemon-Dill Salmon Patties with Creamed Spinach and Roasted Potatoes
Pan-seared salmon patties with lemon, Dijon mustard, shallot, and dill develop a crisp brown crust while staying moist inside. They are served with silky oat-creamed spinach and roasted baby potatoes with browned edges.
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.
Belgian Chicken Meatballs with Tomato Sauce, Homemade Fries and Applesauce
A Belgian-style plate of crisp double-fried potatoes, tender chicken meatballs in a straight tomato sauce, and unsweetened applesauce for the sweet-sour forkful. Supermarkets have spent decades selling this as three freezer compartments; the fresh version is worth the frying smell.
Breaded Chicken with Chickpea-Lentil Pasta and Creamy Butternut Carrot Sauce
This plate does two jobs at once: crispy breaded chicken for the part of the family that wants something familiar, and a silky oat-cream sauce built from butternut, carrots, onion, and garlic so dinner still remembers vegetables exist. The chickpea-lentil pasta brings extra protein and fiber. It’s cozy, practical, and a little more plant-forward than classic cream pasta without pretending to be a saint.
