Water chestnuts, canned, drained

Water chestnuts are the edible, swollen underground stems of an aquatic plant, rather than nuts. The figures here describe canned water chestnuts after draining. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, with 7.4g of carbohydrate, including 3.4g of sugars, and 0.9g of protein per 100g. Their salt content is 0.03g per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. These drained water chestnuts contain only trace amounts of fat. For people monitoring salt or sugar intake, sauces and other ingredients added during cooking can change the amounts in the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (Literature sources). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Haytowitz and Matthews (1986) Composition of foods: legumes and legume products, raw, processed and prepared, Agriculture Handbook No. 8-2, and Wu Leung et al. (1972) Food composition table for use in East Asia.
