Black pudding, raw

Black pudding is a blood sausage usually made with animal blood, fat and cereals. These figures describe black pudding in its raw, uncooked form. It provides fat, carbohydrate and protein, as well as iron. Per 100g, it contains 21g of fat, 9.1g of protein, 11mg of iron and 2.1g of salt.

Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body. Black pudding also contains saturated fat, which is worth noting alongside its salt content for people monitoring their intake. The figures refer to the raw product rather than cooked black pudding.
