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 | chestnuts | almond milk |
| Choline | 0% | 0% |
| Vitamin A | 1% | 0% |
| Vitamin C | 43% | 0% |

| Vitamin B6 | 33% | 0% |
| Vitamin B12 | 0% | 0% |
Now, lets look at mineral density. Here we have a lot of important electrolytes and minerals. Once again, units are in percent of RDI, thus for this 200 calorie serving anything above 10% would considered high.
| Nutrient | chestnuts | almond milk |
| Sodium | 0% | 60% |
| Potasium | 11% | 27% |
