Vegetables, mixed, canned, re-heated, drained

Canned mixed vegetables are a mixture of vegetables preserved in a can. These figures describe them after reheating and draining. They provide mainly water, with carbohydrate, small amounts of protein and fat, and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 6.1g of carbohydrate, 1.9g of protein, 167µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent) and 0.95g of salt.

Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as canned vegetables can contribute to the total amount eaten during the day. Values may vary between brands and vegetable mixtures. The full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 8 brands, Assorted varieties). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: LGC, Canned and other processed vegetable products survey, 1985-1986.
