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.
Protein = 7g
Protein = 7g
Carbohydrates = 11g
Carbohydrates = 44g
Fat = 16g
Fat = 1g
Fiber = 10g
Fiber = 13g
Monounsaturated = 3g
Monounsaturated = 0g
Polyunsaturated = 11g
Polyunsaturated = 0g
Saturated Fat = 1g
Saturated Fat = 0g
Protein 7g 7g Carbohydrate 11g 44g Fiber 10g 13g Fat 16g 1g Monounsat. Fat 3g 1g Polyunsat. Fat 11g 0g Saturated Fat 1g 0g
Note: the chart below maxes out at 20, so you can see better.
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.
Choline = 7%
Choline = 7%
Vitamin A = 0%
Vitamin A = 1%
Vitamin C = 0%
Vitamin C = 30%
Vitamin E = 1%
Vitamin E = 2%
Vitamin K = 2%
Vitamin K = 1%
Choline 7% 7% Vitamin A 0% 1% Vitamin C 0% 30% Vitamin E 1% 2% Vitamin K 2% 1%
Beets have significantly more Vitamins C than flaxseeds. Flaxseeds are a good source of Iron. Flaxseeds are a great source of Thiamin, Magnesium, Phosphorus. Beets are a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Phosphorus. Beets are a great source of Potassium, Iron.
And here we see the B-vitamins: B1 (Thiamin), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine)
Vitamin B1 = 62%
Vitamin B1 = 14%
Vitamin B2 = 6%
Vitamin B2 = 17%
Vitamin B3 = 10%
Vitamin B3 = 13%
Vitamin B5 = 7%
Vitamin B5 = 14%
Vitamin B6 = 16%
Vitamin B6 = 28%
Vitamin B12 = 0%
Vitamin B12 = 0%
Vitamin B1 62% 14% Vitamin B2 6% 17% Vitamin B3 10% 13% Vitamin B5 7% 14% Vitamin B6 16% 28% 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.
Sodium = 1%
Sodium = 24%
Potassium = 9%
Potassium = 43%
Calcium = 19%
Calcium = 15%
Magnesium = 42%
Magnesium = 31%
Phosphorus = 41%
Phosphorus = 32%
Iron = 36%
Iron = 62%
Manganese = 40%
Manganese = 67%
Selenium = 21%
Selenium = 7%
Copper = 46%
Copper = 35%
Zinc = 17%
Zinc = 17%
Sodium 1% 24% Potasium 9% 43% Calcium 19% 15% Magnesium 42% 31% Phosphorus 41% 32% Iron 36% 62% Manganese 40% 67% Selenium 21% 7% Copper 46% 35% Zinc 17% 17%
