Knackwurst is a German sausage in the meat and meat products group. The supplied data do not specify a cooking method. It mainly provides fat and protein, with very little carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 34g of fat, 12g of protein, 0.3g of carbohydrate and 3g of salt.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Fat provides energy, so the fat content is worth noting when monitoring energy intake. The salt content is also relevant for people watching their salt intake, as too much salt can raise blood pressure. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (German sausage. Literature sources). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Souci Fachmann Kraut (1990) Food composition and nutrition tables 1989/90, 4th edition.
