| Monounsat. Fat | 0g | 1g |
| Polyunsat. Fat | 0g | 0g |
| Saturated Fat | 0g | 0g |
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 | clementines | watermelon |
| Choline | 14% | 6% |
| Vitamin A | 0% | 30% |
| Vitamin C | 277% | 72% |
| Vitamin E | 7% | 3% |

And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)

| Vitamin B6 | 29% | 27% |
| 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 | clementines | watermelon |
| Sodium | 0% | 0% |
| Potasium | 22% | 21% |
