How it's used
Refers specifically to the nutritional value or substances that support growth, often used when discussing diet or plant care. It is frequently used in a biological or health context rather than just describing the taste or quality of food. While it sounds slightly formal, it is the standard term used in everyday conversation when talking about health and nutrition.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 營養, which refers to the concept of nutrition as a whole or the state of being nourished. 養份 refers to the specific nutrients themselves, like vitamins or minerals, whereas 營養 is broader.
