Herring, flesh only, raw

Herring is an oily fish. The figures here describe its raw flesh only, rather than the whole fish or a cooked, smoked or pickled product. It mainly provides protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 18g of protein, 13g of fat, 3.6g of saturated fat and 19µg of vitamin D.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports bones and muscles. The fat and saturated fat content may be relevant for people monitoring their energy or saturated fat intake. Preparation can change the nutrient content, particularly when salt or oil is added.
