Crab, canned in brine, drained

Crab is a shellfish, and the figures here describe crab meat canned in brine and then drained. It mainly provides protein, with 18g per 100g, alongside minerals including zinc and calcium. Per 100g, it contains 0.5g of fat, 5.7mg of zinc and 1.4g of salt. Carbohydrate and sugars are present only in trace amounts.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while zinc supports normal immune function and wound healing. Although the brine has been drained away, the crab still contains salt, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
