Coleslaw: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Coleslaw is a salad made primarily from finely shredded raw cabbage, often mixed with a dressing. Packaged coleslaws can vary widely in their ingredients and nutritional content. Common variations include traditional creamy coleslaws, often made with mayonnaise, and lighter versions, or those with added ingredients like apple, carrot, or raisins for different flavours and textures. When choosing a coleslaw, it's helpful to check the nutrition label. Look at the 'Carbohydrate' section for 'of which sugars'. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises limiting free sugars. The ingredient list can also provide clues. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so those appearing earlier have a greater impact on the product's overall composition. For example, if mayonnaise or sugar are listed among the first few ingredients, this may indicate a higher fat or sugar content. Some coleslaws may also contain added salt, so checking the salt content on the label is also advisable, with adults advised to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
