With only 1.7g of sugar per 100g, it meets the UK/EU "low sugar" nutrition-claim threshold. This makes it a suitable choice for those reducing their sugar intake as part of a balanced diet.

This food is a useful source of iron, providing 123.6mg per 100g. The UK recommended intake is 8.7mg for men and 14.8mg for women per day. Iron is essential for producing haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Low iron intake is the most common nutritional deficiency in the UK.

With 1,890mg of calcium per 100g, it contributes meaningfully to daily calcium needs (the UK recommendation is 700mg for adults). Calcium is vital for maintaining strong bones and teeth, as well as supporting normal muscle and nerve function.

It contains 50.0mg of vitamin C per 100g. The UK recommended daily intake is 40mg. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports immune function, skin health, wound healing, and enhances the absorption of non-haeme iron from plant-based foods.

Each 100g serving provides 37.0g of dietary fibre per 100g, meeting the UK/EU "high fibre" nutrition-claim threshold. The UK government recommends 30g of fibre per day for adults. Adequate fibre intake supports healthy digestion, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and may reduce the risk of heart disease and bowel cancer.

Each 100g serving contains 0.10g of salt, meeting the UK/EU "low salt" nutrition-claim threshold. The NHS recommends adults consume no more than 6g of salt per day, so choosing lower-salt foods like this one makes it easier to stay within that limit and supports healthy blood pressure.
