Mussels, raw

Mussels are shellfish, and these figures describe raw mussels purchased alive. They mainly provide protein, with smaller amounts of fat and carbohydrate, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 12g of protein, 1.8g of fat, 19µg of vitamin B12 and 0.73g of salt.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly if salt or salty ingredients are added during preparation. These values describe the raw food; cooking and added ingredients can change its nutritional composition. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
