#Niacin January 8
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
In January 2026, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Label Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will share a label from a food product and share info about one of the ingredients. The goal is simple—read food labels, research unfamiliar ingredients, and become more intentional about what you’re putting into your body, building awareness that can lead to healthier, more mindful eating. Today my post is info on NIACIN.
To me a tossed green salad just is not complete with croutons. We had several packages in our pantry and bread drawer, and they all included niacin.
Commercial croutons are a source of niacin because they are made from enriched wheat flour, where niacin (Vitamin B3) is added back during processing, as seen on ingredient labels below.
Label-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing an ingredient from a food label during the month of January.
- Locate a label on a food product and research an ingredient you might not be familiar with. Â
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one what that ingredient is.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
January 8th-Niacin
Smart Label provided some additional details about niacin and croutons.
Most commercial croutons provide only a small amount of niacin (vitamin B3) per typical serving — for example, many seasoned croutons have around 1 mg of niacin per serving, which is roughly about 6 % of the Daily Value (DV) based on a 2,000-calorie diet.
If you are looking for the best source of niacin it might be better consuming chicken or turkey.
