Tongue, sheep, meat only, stewed

Stewed sheep’s tongue is an organ meat. The figures here describe the meat only, with the fat and skin removed. Per 100g, it provides 1197 kJ of energy, 24g of fat, 18g of protein and 7µg of vitamin B12. Fat and protein are its main sources of energy.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. Despite the removal of fat and skin, the meat retains fat, which is worth noting when considering fat or energy intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
