Vitamin D: plants have about none (the source rows say 0). UV-exposed mushrooms are the exception, and fortified packs vary, so check the pack.
Per 100 g · CoFID / USDA · % RI and % NRV UK · not medical advice
Values are from the closest official record: Balsam-pear (bitter gourd), pods, raw (USDA FDC SR Legacy 168393). No exact lab data for bitter melon juice yet. These values are for the whole fruit or vegetable, not the juice. Nutrients the record does not report are left blank.
Prep notes
Bitter on purpose. A South and East Asian morning juice; not a fruit cup. Juice as sold — brands vary; atlas figures are food-composition data, not a recipe.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
