FIGS (dried) Dried figs, like fresh figs, contain small amounts of vitamins (dried figs are quite rich in vitamin K: 100 g contains 13.0% of the daily requirement), but are characterized by a high content of many macro- and microelements: boron (400.0% of the daily requirement in 100 g), silicon (296.7%),…
HARICOT (BEANS) Haricot beans are characterized by a high content of B-group vitamins, a diverse mineral profile, proteins, essential and non-essential amino acids, phytosterols, fiber, starch, and purines. The product is rich in folic acid (109.5% of the daily requirement per 100 g), vitamin B1 (thiamine) (34.7%), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) (21.2%), choline (19.3%), pantothenic acid…
SOYBEAN Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) remains one of the most clinically and agronomically debated taxa. This complexity is attributed to several critical factors. Firstly, no other botanical species possesses as many transgenic forms as the soybean. In the United States, approximately 75% of soybean acreage is dedicated to genetically modified varieties,…
Rye Rye (Secale cereale L.) serves as a concentrated source of B-group vitamins, biotin, nicotinic acid, diverse mineral elements, amino acids, phytosterols, pectin, starch, and dietary fiber. Rye is characterized by a high content of biotin (92.0% of the daily requirement per 100 g), pantothenic acid (24.6%),…
WILD (BLACK) RICE Wild or black rice is botanically distinct from the genus Oryza L. and is so named primarily due to the morphological similarity of its caryopses to those of long-grain rice. It is a North American aquatic grass belonging to the genus Zizania L., specifically Zizania aquatica L., also known…
BROWN UNPOLISHED RICE Brown rice (often termed unpolished rice) is a caryopsis from which the hull has been removed, while the bran layer and germ have been preserved. This anatomical structure accounts for its characteristic light brown pigmentation and subtle nutty flavor. In terms of nutritive value, brown unpolished rice significantly surpasses…
WHITE ROUND GRAIN RICE (STICKY) White rice is defined as rice that has undergone all stages of polishing (milling). Round grain rice possesses a rounded caryopsis, typically 4 to 5 mm in length, with a width approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of its length. It is characterized by high opacity and…
OATS Oats are characterized by a high content of numerous vitamins (particularly B group), mineral elements, proteins, essential and non-essential amino acids, phytosterols, carbohydrates (notably pectin, starch, and fiber), and purines. The product is rich in vitamin B1 (thiamine) (57.6% of the daily requirement per 100 g), biotin (30.0%), pantothenic…
CORN Corn serves as a source of specific vitamins, minerals, proteins, and essential amino acids. It is characterized by a significant content of phytosterols, carbohydrates (predominantly starch and fiber), and purines. Corn is rich in biotin (42.0% of the daily requirement per 100 g), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) (31.0%), vitamin B1 (thiamine) (22.9%), vitamin PP (nicotinic…
HAZELNUTS Hazelnuts (Forest Nuts) are a very high-calorie product. Their seeds (nuts) are characterized by a fairly high content of certain vitamins, minerals, proteins, but most importantly, unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid) and phytosterols. Hazelnuts are richin biotin (100 g contains 156.0% of the daily requirement), alpha-tocopherol (116.7%), vitamin…
