Sources & evidence

See where a number comes from, how its Daily Value is calculated, and what supports a nutrient’s role in the body.

Three different kinds of evidence.

01 · Food composition

USDA reference food

Amounts describe a named raw edible reference food per 100 g. Each profile preserves its source record and reported methods. UCFarms harvest measurements will be identified separately when available.

02 · Nutrient physiology

What a nutrient does

NIH sources describe nutrients’ roles in normal biology. These roles do not establish a health outcome from eating a crop.

03 · Body-system links

An editorial guide

UCFarms groups biological functions by body system to help you explore. Functions can span multiple systems; the groupings are not independent health claims.

First reference profile · 13 selected nutrients
