Clams, canned in brine, drained

Clams are shellfish, and the food described here is clams canned in brine and then drained. They provide protein and minerals, including iron. Per 100g, the drained clams contain 16g of protein, 8mg of iron, 0.6g of fat and 3g of salt. These figures exclude the surrounding brine.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as drained clams still contain salt from the brine. Clams are also a mollusc allergen. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Literature sources). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Wu Leung et al. (1972) Food composition table for use in East Asia, and Exler (1987) Composition of foods: finfish and shellfish products, raw, processed and prepared.
