Poussin, raw, meat and skin, weighed with bone

Poussin is a young chicken. These figures describe raw meat and skin weighed with the bone, rather than boneless meat alone. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 11g of protein and 8.1g of fat per 100g, including 2.2g of saturated fat. The energy content is 488 kJ per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The saturated fat and energy content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake, and removing the skin changes the fat content. Raw poultry should be handled carefully to avoid cross-contamination and cooked thoroughly before eating. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
