Beef extract

Beef extract is a concentrated savoury product made from beef, used to flavour foods or prepare drinks. The figures here describe a mixed sample including Bovril and own-brand products, before dilution. It mainly provides protein and B vitamins, with little fat. Per 100g, it contains 40g of protein, 0.6g of fat, 11g of salt and 1300µg of folate.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate is needed for normal red blood cell formation. The concentrated product has a high salt content, which is relevant for people watching their salt intake. The amount consumed depends on how much extract is used.
