Iterate though a json object and get specific data - arrays

Question

I have a json which comes from an API,
"nutrient_value": [

From the above json im decoding it into this
var resJson = json.decode(res);
MPD.Result _mealPlan = MPD.Result.fromJson(resJson["result"]);
///
factory Result.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => Result(
id: json["id"],
....
nutrientValue: List<NutrientValue>.from(json["nutrient_value"].map((x) => NutrientValue.fromJson(x))),
....
);
"nutrient_value": []
And inside this nutrient_value array, for each item I need to check if given key (eg: "Calcium") exists and if yes, then fetch the values of index [0] and [2] of that key:
Example key "Calcium" exists and
valueCalcium = value of index[0]
colorCalcium = value of index[2]
"nutrient_value": [
{
"Calcium": [
"29.16",
"mg",
"Red",
"0.00102858984",
"ounce"
}
how can I do this in an iterative way?
I have tried this
_mealPlan.nutrientValue.forEach((element) {
if(element.calcium.isNotEmpty){
valCalcium = element.calcium[0];
print(valCalcium);//_mealPlan.nutrientValue[0].calcium[0];
calciumClr = element.calcium[2];
print(calciumClr);
}
});
but it doesn't seem to be the right way.
I'm using each of those two index values in later parts in my code.

You can do like this:
void main() {
Map<String, dynamic> data = {
"success": true,
"result": {
"id": 7,
"daily_allowance_actual_percentage": {
"Bone": [0, "Red"],
"Muscle Meat": [100, "Red"]
},
