Mushrooms, straw, canned, drained

Straw mushrooms are edible fungi; the figures here describe canned mushrooms with the liquid drained off. They provide small amounts of protein and carbohydrate, with little fat. Per 100g, they contain 2.1g of protein, 1.2g of carbohydrate, 0.2g of fat and 0.65g of salt. They also provide some vitamins and minerals, including riboflavin and iron.

Protein contributes to 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, even though the canning liquid has been drained away. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
