First, let's take a look at the macros. Each of these are listed in grams and as usual, normalized to 200 calories for easy comparison, so we're always comparing apples to apples.

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 | beef | adzuki beans |
| Choline | 24% | 0% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 0% | 0% |
