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

Creamy Red Lentil Dal with Tomato and Ginger

10 min 30 min 5 min

Soft red lentils, sweet onion, ginger heat, and a coconut-tomato base that turns silky. It is cheap, filling, deeply practical, and mostly built from pantry logic rather than the usual supermarket performance art of twelve packaged solutions for one human problem. High in fiber and plant protein, lighter on environmental impact than meat-heavy stews, and still generous enough that nobody asks where the "real" dinner went.

Sweet Tikka Masala Spice Mix

10 min

A cozy, fragrant tikka masala-style spice mix with garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and a small touch of brown sugar to round out the edges. It is sweet-leaning rather than fiery, which is handy when feeding children, spice skeptics, or adults who talk big and then reach for yogurt. Make a small jar once, and future dinners get dramatically easier with very little emotional labor.
