Values are based on the combined statistical analysis of 308 data points for the current study (dry weight basis). Total prebiotic carbohydrates include sugar alcohols, simple sugars, raffinose-family oligosaccharides, and resistant starch. % RDA is based on 20 g/day for total prebiotic carbohydrates [30]. %RDA for protein is 46 g/day for women aged 19–70+ years and 56 g/day for men aged 19–70+years. Mineral %RDA values are from the National Institute of Health (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK545442/table/appJ_tab3/?report=objectonly)
