The chemical composition and calorie content of the product
Red caviar is a nutritious valuable product obtained from fish of the Salmonidae family. There are many varieties of delicacy (caviar of pink salmon, salmon, trout, salmon, chum salmon). It is believed that the bright red caviar of sockeye salmon is lower in quality than pink salmon (light orange).
It is especially appreciated for the rich composition of nutrients.
- Proteins 30-35 grams per 100 grams of product. Allows to fill 60% of the daily needs of the human body.
- Fats up to 15 grams. This is approximately 12-15% of the daily intake of fat.
- Vitamins (A, E, PP, B, C) are necessary for the normal functioning of all systems.
- Useful minerals and elements (phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, iron, selenium, fluorine, potassium, calcium, molybdenum). It is curious that 100 grams of fresh caviar provides 170% of the daily intake of sodium and 50% of the daily intake of phosphorus.
- Quite a large amount of lecithin. This phospholipid has a hepatoprotective effect, improves liver function.
And the fatty acids in the product are contained in sufficient quantities. But, unlike salmon steaks and fillets, eggs do not contain a really large amount of acids. Therefore, you should not consider the delicacy as a storehouse of omega-3 or omega-6 acids. They are able to saturate the body with these substances, but in moderation.
Calorie content of the product exceeds the norm. Each type of caviar has its own calorie content.For example, salmon roe contains almost 247 calories, and sockeye roe contains 253 calories. Protein red caviar (artificially bred) is suitable for dietary nutrition, because it has only 65 calories.
