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.

Black Bean and Pepper Fajitas

5 min 15 min

Smoky peppers, lime-warmed black beans, avocado, and a small spoonful of sour cream make a fast fajita filling with plenty of contrast. A handful of raw pepper folded in at the end keeps the texture crisp.
