Oily chilli pickle is a condiment made from chillies preserved with oil and salt. The figures here describe the whole contents, including the oil, rather than drained chillies. It mainly provides fat, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 25g of fat, 9.9g of carbohydrate, 3.3g of protein and 10g of salt.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The oil content is worth noting for people watching their energy intake. This pickle also has a high salt content, so the amount eaten can make a notable contribution to salt intake. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 assorted samples; whole contents). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Immigrant Foods Supplement, 1985.
