Pigs in blankets calories and nutrition facts
Pigs in blankets: 381 kcal per 100 g, protein 22.8 g, fat 31.3 g, carbs 1.4 g. 1 piece (25 g): 95 kcal.
In Britain, pigs in blankets are chipolata sausages wrapped in streaky bacon and roasted alongside the turkey, and for many people they’re the best thing on the Christmas plate. One 25 g piece has about 95 kcal, so four come to around 381 kcal; they’re rich in protein, selenium and vitamin B12, and salty from both the bacon and the sausage. In the US the name means something else – little hot dogs baked in pastry or crescent dough – so these figures suit the British kind.
