Cockles are shellfish, and the figures here describe cockles bottled in vinegar and drained. They mainly provide protein, with several vitamins and minerals, including iron and vitamin B12. Per 100g, they contain 13g of protein, 35mg of iron, 47µg of vitamin B12 and 1.6g of salt. They contain little fat and only traces of carbohydrate and sugars.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Iron and vitamin B12 are needed for normal red blood cell formation, and vitamin B12 also supports nerve function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 5 brands). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Fish and Fish Products Supplement, 1993.
