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.

Description

Partly skimmed cow's milk with 2% fat, for drinks, porridge, sauces and baking.

Cook with it

Recipes using this ingredient

Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

15 min 15 min 10 min

Whipped egg whites make these 100% whole wheat pancakes tall and light, while a little skyr keeps the centres tender. Let the flour hydrate before folding in the whites, then cook the batter straight away.

Whole Wheat Almond Pancakes

10 min 15 min 10 min

These pancakes use whole wheat flour and de-oiled almond flour for a hearty, tender stack with more fiber and protein than the usual fluffy sugar discs pretending to be breakfast. Eggs and milk keep the texture familiar, vanilla makes the kitchen smell like life is manageable, and a little olive oil in the pan helps everything brown without turning the stove into a crime scene. And of course full of PROTEIN FOR BIG GAINS
