Lentils, canned in tomato sauce, re-heated

Lentils are pulses, and the figures here describe canned lentils in tomato sauce after reheating. They mainly provide carbohydrate and protein, with little fat. Per 100g, they contain 9.3g of carbohydrate, 4.7g of protein and 0.2g of fat. They also contain 0.75g of salt. The values cover both the lentils and the accompanying tomato sauce.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Lentils also provide iron, which is needed to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, and can vary between products. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 2 brands). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: LGC, Canned and other processed vegetable products survey, 1985-1986.
