Crab, white and brown meat, purchased cooked, weighed with shell

Crab is a shellfish, and these figures describe a mixture of white and brown meat purchased cooked and weighed with the shell. It provides protein, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g including the shell, the calculated amounts are 8.6g protein, 1.8g fat, 5.7µg vitamin B12 and 0.37g salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt content is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. These values account for the shell’s weight and should not be read as amounts per 100g of edible crab meat alone.
