Sardines, flesh only, grilled

Sardines are oily fish. The figures here describe grilled sardine flesh only, rather than fish eaten with the bones. They mainly provide protein and fat, along with vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, the flesh contains 25g of protein, 7.8g of fat, 2.4g of saturated fat and 5.1µg of vitamin D.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bones and muscles. As these figures are for flesh only, the calcium content should not be taken as representative of sardines eaten with their bones. The saturated fat and salt content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
