Do you know that eating 1 bar of dark chocolate (100g) a day fully covers your daily copper need (based on adult's need)?
But it may not be wise make it a daily choice because of the high calories: 100g = 600 kcal :-(
Recommended daily intake: 18mg
- 0.27mg (0-6 months old)
- 11mg (7-12 months old)
- 7mg (1-3 years old)
- 10mg (4-8 years old)
- 8mg (9-13 years old)
- 11-15mg (14-18 years old)
- 18mg for women (19 years old & above)
- 8mg for men (19 years old & above)
