Questions about black pudding

Four questions chosen by the facts above, so every food answers differently.

How many calories are in a portion of black pudding?

A typical portion (100 g cooked) gives 297 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 297 kcal.

Is black pudding high in chloride?

Yes. Black pudding, dry-fried has 1560 mg chloride per 100 g, 195 % of the NRV, above the 30 % threshold for a “high in” claim.

Does frying change the folate in black pudding?

Yes. Per 100 g, folate goes from 2 mg raw to 0.005 mg fried. Part of that is the vitamin or mineral itself changing, part is the change in water content.

Which vitamins and minerals does black pudding have most of?

By share of the daily reference intake: chloride (1560 mg, 195 %), iron (12.3 mg, 88 %) and vitamin B12 (0.001 mg, 40 %) per 100 g.

How these numbers were made

Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 19-114, Black pudding, dry-fried, 8 analysed samples, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: Reviewed 2013. LGC, Analytical survey of meat products, 1990-1991. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a portion is 100 g, 100 g cooked, the usual UK portion for meat. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 253 meat kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample, and where no illustration of the exact food exists the nearest one is shown (here: Blood Pudding).
