Jellied eel is eel served in a set jelly. The figures here describe the fish with the jelly included, based on samples from assorted outlets. It mainly provides protein and fat, with only trace amounts of carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 8.4g of protein, 7.1g of fat, 1.9g of saturated fat and 1.6g of salt.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Jellied eel also provides vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, and vitamin B12, which supports normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Its salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples from assorted outlets. Jelly included in analysis). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: LGC, Nutritional survey fish and fish products, 1986-1987.
