Sardines, canned in brine, drained

Sardines are small oily fish. The figures here are for sardines canned in brine and drained before eating. They mainly provide protein and fat, along with several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 22g of protein, 9.1g of fat, 679mg of calcium and 0.92g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Canned sardines commonly contain soft, edible bones, which contribute to their calcium content. Their salt content is worth noting for people monitoring salt intake, even after draining. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
