Winkles, boiled

Winkles are edible sea snails, a type of shellfish. The figures here describe boiled winkles purchased cooked from stalls and fishmongers. They mainly provide protein, with 15g per 100g, alongside 1.2g of fat. They also supply vitamins and minerals, including 36µg of vitamin B12, and contain 1.9g of salt per 100g.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, even though the fat content is low. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
