Vine leaves, preserved in brine

Vine leaves are the leaves of the grapevine. The figures here describe leaves preserved in brine and then soaked to remove brine. They provide protein and micronutrients, including calcium and vitamin A. Per 100g, they contain 3.6g of protein, 390mg of calcium, 275µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent) and 5.5g of salt.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and immune function. The salt content remains high in these soaked samples, which is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures for the prepared leaves are given in the tables below.
