Kidney, pig, stewed

Pig kidney is an offal meat. The figures here describe kidney that has been stewed with the core removed and salt added. It mainly provides protein, along with fat, vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, it contains 24g of protein, 6.1g of fat, 0.93g of salt and 15µg of vitamin B12.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The added salt is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Pig kidney also contains cholesterol and saturated fat, which may be relevant when considering dietary intake.
