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.

Chickpea, Spinach and Feta Quiche

20 min 42 min 10 min

A crisp shortcrust shell holds tender spinach, lightly browned chickpeas, and pockets of salty feta in a soft egg custard. The chickpeas give the filling more substance than a standard spinach quiche without making it heavy.
