Most people should get between 45% and 65% of total calories from carbohydrates, preferably from complex carbohydrates (like Butternut Buns) and natural sugars (from fresh fruits, like apples) (Sources: National Institutes of Health - MedlinePlus, 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans). Excellent Source of Thiamin (Vitamin B1) and Niacin (Vitamin B3), Good Source of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): These B vitamins play an important role in metabolism by helping the body produce and release energy from protein, fat and carbohydrates (Sources: National Institutes of Health - MedlinePlus, www.ChooseMyPlate.gov). They also help the nervous system function properly (www.ChooseMyPlate.gov). Because the body doesn't store these B vitamins, you should eat food that contain them every day (Sources: National Institutes of Health - MedlinePlus).

Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord. The FDA recommends a daily folate intake of 400 mcg DFE (Dietary Folate Equivalent). Nothing but. Since 1893.
