daily values

Daily Values are reference guidelines that help you understand how the nutrients in a food item fit into your overall daily nutrition needs. They are based on a standard 2,000-calorie diet and indicate the percentage of each nutrient (like vitamins, minerals, fats, and sugars) recommended for one day. For example, if a food provides 20% of the Daily Value for calcium, it means that eating that portion contributes 20% of the calcium you should aim to consume in a day. These values help you compare foods and make balanced dietary choices.
