Black bean sauce

Black bean sauce is a prepared savoury sauce made with fermented black soybeans and other ingredients, used in cooking or served with food. It provides mainly carbohydrate and protein, with a smaller amount of fat. Per 100g, it contains 12g of carbohydrate, including 11g of sugars, alongside 7.1g of protein and 6.3g of salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is high, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. The amount of salt and sugars it adds to a meal depends on how much sauce is used. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (6 samples, 3 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: LFRA, Nutrient analysis of miscellaneous foods, 1992.
