Kidney, pig, raw

Pig kidney is an organ meat, also known as offal. The figures here describe it raw. Per 100g, it provides 16g of protein, 2.7g of fat, 6.4mg of iron and 40µg of vitamin B12. It also supplies selenium and other B vitamins.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Iron and vitamin B12 are needed for normal red blood cell formation, and vitamin B12 also supports nerve function.
