Beef, flank, raw, lean

Beef flank is a cut of meat from the abdominal area of cattle. The figures here describe the lean meat in its raw form. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 23g of protein and 9.3g of fat per 100g, including 3.8g of saturated fat. It also contains 1.8mg of iron.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Although this entry describes lean meat, its saturated fat content is still relevant for people monitoring their intake. Cooking changes the water content and may alter nutrient concentrations.
