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 Vegetarian Lentil Bolognese with Homemade Tomato, Carrot & Celery Sauce

20 min 40 min

This is the sort of bolognese you make when you want the deep, slow-cooked mood of the classic, but not the environmental baggage. Lentils bring the protein, mushrooms add savory weight, and the carrot-celery-onion base melts into a thick tomato sauce with just enough cocoa powder to make people pause, then go back for more. It tastes rich, slightly sweet, properly savory, and very much like actual bolognese if you skip the fact that we are missing really hard the meat :'(
