Food nutritional value?

Question

Hi

This bread loaf shows a 6g protein at the back at the nutritional value side. I'm wondering if it means per slice of bread or the entire loaf gives 6g of protein? The same applies for peanut butter. It shows 3g of protein. But is it the entire container of peanut butter being worth 3g of protein or a certain amount? If so how much?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It also says on the label how much of the item constitutes a serving. With bread it is usually for 2 slices and peanut butter is usually 2 Tablespoons.

Answer 2

Some foods naturally contain disease-fighting, health promoting properties, while others contain elements that may hinder your health goals.



Asparagus



Asparagus is high in glutathione, an important anticarcinogen

It also contains rutin, which protects small blood vessels from rupturing and may protect against radiation

Asparagus is a good source of vitamins A, C and E, B-complex vitamins, potassium and zinc



Avocado



Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat, which is easily burned for energy.

An avocado has more than twice as much potassium as a banana.

For a delicious, creamy salad dressing, mix together avocado and fresh carrot juice.



Bananas



You don’t need to eat bananas

for the potassium! (Although it is present in bananas, potassium is the predominant nutrient among most all fruits and vegetables.)

Bananas are high in sugar,

so they should not be eaten if you have blood sugar problems.

Don’t eat bananas on an empty stomach; combining them with a bit of protein will help to normalize the insulin response caused by the sugar in the banana.

Green-tipped bananas are better for your health than over-ripe bananas.

On a side note: Because bananas are so popular, rainforests are often destroyed to make way for banana plantations.



Onions



Onions are an excellent antioxidant, and they contain anti-allergy, antiviral and antihistamine properties.

Sulfur compounds in onions help to detoxify the body.

Onions aid in cellular repair.

Onions are a rich source of quercetin, a potent antioxidant.

To obtain the maximum nutritional benefits, onions should be eaten raw or lightly steamed



Peanuts



Peanuts contain beneficial protein, but many people are allergic to them and find them hard to digest.

They also contain aflatoxin, a carcinogenic, which may explain why peanut farmers have been found

to have disproportionately high rates of cancer.

Peanuts are high in fungus and, often, pesticides.

They do not contain any omega-3, which can contribute to distorting your omega-6:omega-3 ratio.

The peanut is actually a legume, not a nut (which is why they are often roasted).

Peanuts contain about the same amount of protein as soy and are low in starchy carbohydrates.

Did you know? George Washington Carver was largely responsible for popularizing the peanut as a food in America.



Radishes



Radishes have antibacterial and anti-fungal properties

They are a member of the cabbage family

Radishes contain vitamin C, potassium and other trace minerals

Grown in Egypt since at least 2780 B.C., radishes were originally black

Answer 3

Underneath where it says "Nutrition Facts" it should give you a serving size in smaller letters. The nutritional value, such as your 6g of protein, is for the serving size provided.

Answer 4

Per serving
