Chorizo: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Chorizo is a type of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula, known for its distinctive smoky, spicy flavour derived from paprika. In the UK, you'll find it in various forms, including cured rings, cooking chorizo, and even as flavourings in snacks like crisps. When choosing chorizo products, checking the nutrition label is helpful. As with many processed meats, chorizo can be high in salt, so it's worth noting the amount per serving. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting intake of processed meats. The ingredient list will show the main components; pork is typically the primary ingredient. For products where chorizo is an ingredient, such as crisps, look at the overall nutrition information for the product itself. Some products may be high in fat, so checking the label can help you make informed choices based on your dietary needs. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
