Crab, brown meat, purchased cooked

Brown crab meat is the soft meat from the body of a crab, rather than the white meat from its claws and legs. The figures here are for meat purchased cooked. Per 100g, it provides 19g of protein, 7.8g of fat, 0.88g of salt and 22µg of vitamin B12.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Brown crab meat also provides minerals, including calcium, iodine and selenium. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
