Shrimps, canned in brine, drained

Shrimps are shellfish, and the figures here describe shrimps canned in brine and drained. They mainly provide protein, with 21g per 100g, alongside 1.2g of fat. They also supply vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12 at 2µg per 100g. The salt content is 2.5g per 100g, which is worth noting when comparing canned fish and shellfish products.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Brine is a salt solution, and these shrimps retain salt after draining. This is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
