Where they differ

Bar length is the share of a day's needs (FDA Daily Value) in 100 calories of each. Every row uses the same scale, so a short difference in length is a small difference. Color says which food, never which is better.

No nutrient differs by 4% of a day's needs or more in 100 calories of each.
