% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Fat Composition
The suggested total fat consumption should be limited to 30% of total energy intake or less. The type of fat consumed should primarily be unsaturated fatty acids, with no more than 10% of total energy intake coming from saturated fatty acids (about 200 calories on a 2000-calorie diet) and no more than 1% of total energy intake coming from trans-fatty acids.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Jellyfish is recognized as a source of type-I collagen, which is increasingly utilized in food applications, and contains a specific lipid profile, contributing to its nutritional constituents. Furthermore, research published in SpringerLink indicates that jellyfish mucin, specifically qniumucin, may help mitigate articular cartilage degeneration in experimental models when combined with hyaluronic acid. However, as a dried and salted product, it inherently contains added sodium.
