Vitamin A High32%

289 µg a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (45%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin E High21%

3.2 mg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (68%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Omega-3 Source15%

0.2 g a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (51%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Magnesium Source12%

52 mg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (71%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Selenium Source11%

6.3 µg a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (57%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (69%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Folate8%

30 µg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (59%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B127%

0.2 µg a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (53%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Potassium6%

280 mg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (55%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Calcium6%

80 mg a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (51%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron6%

1.1 mg a serve, mostly from natural no-sugar-added peanut butter (43%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Vitamin D2%

0.5 µg a serve, mostly from full-fat cream cheese (53%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K2%

2.2 µg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (43%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin C0%

0.2 mg a serve, mostly from heavy whipping cream (80%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
