Beef, mince, frozen, stewed

This entry describes frozen minced beef cooked by stewing in water. It mainly provides protein and fat, with 19g of protein and 14g of fat per 100g, including 6.2g of saturated fat. It also provides iron, at 2.4mg per 100g, along with zinc and several B vitamins. The figures refer to the cooked meat rather than the frozen product before cooking.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron helps the body make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Salt content may change if salt, stock or sauces are added during cooking.
