Intro to Nutrition
%DV, or Percent Daily Value, is a guide on food labels that helps consumers understand how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to their daily diet based on a standard 2,000-calorie daily intake. It provides context for the nutritional content of a food item, allowing individuals to make informed choices regarding their dietary needs. Understanding %DV is essential for evaluating how various foods fit into a balanced diet and maintaining overall health.
