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

High-Protein Breakfast Cake

15 min 40 min

Ripe bananas and plum compote keep this loaf moist, while skyr, lupin flour and defatted almond flour give it a firmer crumb and extra fiber and protein. Dark chocolate chips add small pockets of bitterness.

Whole-Wheat Bazlama

25 min 15 min 1 h 15 min

These skillet-cooked flatbreads have browned spots and a soft, chewy center. Skyr adds protein to the mostly whole-wheat dough without changing how the bread is cooked.
