Protein fulfills many roles in the body by supporting growth, maintenance and repair of cells and producing enzymes and hormones.
We do not have a default PDCAAS-adjusted value for this food type, so we cannot show %DV for Protein.
Essential amino acids are the building blocks that are needed to create proteins, which are crucial for the structure and function of cells. Because humans can’t make them, we need to obtain them from our diets.
Non-essential amino acids contribute to the building blocks needed to create proteins, which are crucial for the structure and function of cells. Humans can make these amino acids from carbohydrates and fat, therefore it's not required to obtain them from the diet.
The fat-to-protein ratio tells you how much fat there is compared to protein in a food. It’s calculated by dividing the grams of fat by the grams of protein, to show balance between the two nutrients. A low number suggests a lean profile: more protein and less fat. Conversely, a high number indicates the food is more "fatty," meaning it has more fat and less protein.
Fat provides energy and contributes to cell building. Fat is made up of fatty acids that can be grouped into saturated fatty acids (SFA), trans fatty acids (TFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) & monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).

It’s calculated by dividing the amount of omega-6 fat by the amount of omega-3 fat, to show how the types of fat are balanced.
