Swede, flesh only, raw

Swede is a root vegetable. The figures here describe its raw flesh after thin peeling. It provides mainly water, with some carbohydrate and vitamin C, and small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 101 kJ of energy, 5g of carbohydrate, including 4.9g of sugars, and 31mg of vitamin C.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugars in raw swede are naturally present rather than added. Raw swede contains little fat or salt, although adding butter or salt during preparation changes the overall amounts. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
