Mussels, canned and bottled, drained

Mussels are shellfish. The figures here describe canned and bottled mussels preserved in vinegar or brine, with the liquid drained off. They provide mainly protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 17g of protein, 13mg of iron, 22µg of vitamin B12 and 1.1g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation and normal nerve function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though the mussels are drained. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, in vinegar and brine). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: 6 samples, 6 products, frozen and chilled.
