Hare, meat only, stewed

Hare is a game meat, described here as meat only from a dressed carcase, cooked by stewing. It mainly provides protein and fat, as well as minerals including iron. Per 100g, the stewed meat contains 30g protein, 8g fat, 11mg iron and 0.1g salt.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and iron from meat is readily absorbed by the body. The salt figure applies to the meat alone; added salt, stock or sauces can increase the salt content of a prepared stew. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
