Venison, roast

Venison is meat from deer, and the figures here describe it roasted. It mainly provides protein, with 36g per 100g, alongside 2.5g of fat. It also supplies minerals and B vitamins, including 5.1mg of iron and 3.9mg of zinc per 100g. These values were calculated from raw venison samples, including diced meat and steaks.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, while zinc supports normal immune function. Added fats, salt, sauces or gravy can change the nutritional content of a venison meal, which is worth noting when monitoring fat or salt intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
