NUTRIENTS & COMPOUNDS
Source nutrient amounts appear below. No additional food-specific pigment or phytochemical evidence is assigned in this reviewed set; missing compound quantities are not zero.

Inside this food.
Showing 100 g. A database portion is not a recommended serving; a teaspoon of a dried spice is very different from 100 g.
| Nutrient | In 100 g | Per 100 g | How USDA derived it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 2.47 g | 2.47 g | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Fiber, total dietary | 2.2 g | 2.2 g | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Iron, Fe | 0.48 mg | 0.48 mg | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Sodium, Na | 300 mg | 300 mg | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Vitamin C, total ascorbic acid | 10.9 mg | 10.9 mg | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Total lipid (fat) | 5.84 g | 5.84 g | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Carbohydrate, by difference | 25.01 g | 25.01 g | Calculated · 0 data points |
| Energy | 162 kcal | 162 kcal | Calculated · 0 data points |
| Calcium, Ca | 9 mg | 9 mg | Analytical · 3 data points |
| Potassium, K | 447 mg | 447 mg | Analytical · 3 data points |
Zero means the source reports zero; a missing nutrient is not assumed absent. Calculated, imputed and analytical values retain their source derivation. Values are rounded for display.
COMPOSITION → NUTRIENT FUNCTION
Follow it into the body.
These are established roles of nutrients reported in this food. The amount present, the portion eaten and what is absorbed all matter; presence alone does not establish adequacy or a health outcome.
Body system connections
Named body-system connections have not yet been reviewed for this exact preparation. The composition and independently sourced nutrient functions remain available below.
Carry oxygen
Iron is used to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in blood, and myoglobin, which supplies oxygen to muscles.
This is a nutrient function, not evidence that a meal treats anemia. Fatigue has many possible causes; this explorer does not diagnose it.
Explore the body connection →NIH ODS · Iron ↗Build structure
Calcium gives bones and teeth structure. It also participates in muscle movement and nerve signaling.
Food names do not establish a calcium amount. These links do not show that a meal prevents fractures or meets an individual requirement.

Potassium participates in nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and normal heart and kidney function.
More is not always appropriate. Kidney disease and some medicines can change potassium handling; follow your care plan. This explorer does not recommend potassium supplements or salt substitutes.
Explore the body connection →NIH ODS · Potassium ↗Make collagen
Vitamin C helps the body make collagen and improves absorption of iron from plant foods.
This function is not evidence that a recipe heals wounds or prevents illness. These connections do not diagnose deficiency, measure iron absorption or recommend vitamin C supplements.

No reviewed condition mapping is available for this exact preparation. This is an evidence-coverage gap, not evidence that the food has no physiological effects.
How to read the evidence
- Established nutrient function
- Human clinical evidence
- Observational dietary association
- Preliminary / mechanistic research
- Unsupported or inconclusive claim
Laboratory mechanisms cannot establish human outcomes. A whole-food portion and a concentrated supplement are different exposures. Inconclusive evidence is labeled; unsupported claims are not assigned to foods.
