Okra, canned, drained

Okra is a vegetable made up of edible seed pods. The figures here describe canned okra that has been drained and rinsed. It provides small amounts of carbohydrate and protein, as well as minerals including iron and calcium. Per 100g, it contains 2.5g of carbohydrate, 1.4g of protein, 5.4mg of iron and 1.1g of salt.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as these figures already reflect rinsing and draining. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 6 brands. Rinsed). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Vegetables, Herbs and Spices Supplement, 1991.
