Venison, meat only, raw

Venison is meat from deer. The figures here describe raw haunch meat only. It mainly provides protein, with 22g per 100g, and contains 1.6g of fat, including 0.8g of saturated fat. It also supplies minerals, including 3.3mg of iron per 100g, alongside zinc, phosphorus and potassium.

Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Iron helps the body make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. For people monitoring fat or salt intake, cooking fats, sauces and seasonings can change the amounts in the finished dish. These figures refer to the raw meat rather than a cooked meal.
