Next, let's take a look at the Vitamin density. These values are shown in units of percent of recommended daily intake. And since we're showing 200 calories worth, this means anything above 10% is good.
Nutrient | apricots | blueberries |
Choline | 3% | 5% |
Vitamin A | 64% | 2% |
Vitamin C | 56% | 45% |
