Chorizo
Limited nutritional benefit
Fresh (Mexican-style) pork chorizo, values for the raw sausage.
Fresh pork sausage seasoned with chili, paprika, garlic and vinegar, cooked before eating, often crumbled into eggs, tacos, beans and rice dishes. A 50 g portion gives about 150 kcal, 7 g of protein and 12.5 g of fat, with about 390 mg of sodium and some vitamin B12. Spanish chorizo is a different, dry-cured product that is eaten uncooked and has more fat and salt per 100 g.
