Detailed explanation-1: -Use %DV to determine if a serving of the food is high or low in an individual nutrient. As a general guide: 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low. 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Percent Daily Value (%DV) The % Daily Value (%DV) is the percentage of the Daily Value for each nutrient in a serving of the food. The Daily Values are reference amounts (expressed in grams, milligrams, or micrograms) of nutrients to consume or not to exceed each day.
Detailed explanation-3: -Though not an end-all test, a quick way to read the percent daily values is to use the 5/20 rule. This says that if the %DV is less than 5% there is a low amount of this nutrient, while if the %DV is greater than 20% there is a high amount of this nutrient.
