Soft herring roe is the milt, or sperm-containing reproductive tissue, of male herring. The figures here describe it raw. Per 100g, it provides 17g of protein, 2.6g of fat, 4µg of vitamin D and 575mg of cholesterol. Protein is its main energy-providing nutrient.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bones and muscles. The cholesterol content is worth noting for people monitoring their dietary cholesterol intake, alongside the saturated fat content of their overall diet. Cooking methods and added ingredients can change the nutritional content. Full figures are in the tables below.
