Chinese meat buns are dough buns with a meat filling. The figures here describe assorted samples containing barbecued pork. They mainly provide carbohydrate, alongside fat and protein. Per 100g, they contain 38g of carbohydrate, 9.5g of fat, 8.8g of protein and 0.88g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Fat also contributes to the energy content. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when buns are eaten with sauces or other foods containing salt.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (2 assorted samples, barbecued pork). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Cereals and Cereal Products Supplement (1988).
