Octopus, raw

Octopus is a marine mollusc eaten as seafood. The figures here describe raw octopus. It mainly provides protein, with a small amount of fat, and supplies minerals including selenium, phosphorus and iodine. Per 100g, it contains 18g of protein, 1.3g of fat, 0.3g of saturated fat and 75µg of selenium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Selenium supports normal thyroid function and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. For people monitoring fat intake, cooking methods and added ingredients can change the fat content of the finished dish. The full nutrient figures for raw octopus are shown in the tables below.
