Abalone is a type of edible sea snail, classed as shellfish. The figures here refer to abalone canned in brine and drained before eating. Per 100g, it provides 25g of protein, 2g of fat, 8.8mg of iron and 2.5g of salt. Carbohydrate and sugars are present only in trace amounts.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Although the brine has been drained away, the abalone still contains salt, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient 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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Wu Leung et al. (1972) Food composition table for use in East Asia. Food and Agriculture Organization and US Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
