. The energy is provided above all by the protein share, followed by carbohydrates and lipids in smaller quantities. The peptides are very abundant and with a high biological value. This means that it provides all the essential amino acids in adequate quantities and proportions compared to the human model. lipid fraction - composed mainly of triglycerides, whose composition in fatty acids is unknown - and carbohydrate - glucose - depend above all on the animal's diet. Fibers are absent.The amount of cholesterol is difficult to estimate. The most common nutritional factors responsible for food intolerance are not present: gluten, lactose and histamine. The amount of purines is unknown but, in addition to them, the contribution of its catabolites such as uric acid must be taken into consideration.
Mineral salts have high bioavailability; the concentrations of potassium, sodium, phosphorus, calcium, iron - of hemoglobin - and magnesium stand out.

Once again, taking into consideration the blood-based recipes, it is advisable to avoid them in the presence of metabolic diseases.
The excellent quantity and quality of protein makes it suitable for those who have a greater need for essential amino acids - competitive sportsmen, pregnant women, defected or malnourished, in old age, etc.
Rich in vitamins and minerals, the blood can be useful in the indiscriminate increase of all these essential nutrients for man. However, it should be remembered that it is a cooked food, therefore depleted of thermolabile molecules - for example vit C, folates, etc.
It has no contraindications for the diet against celiac disease, lactose intolerance and histamine. Note: the recipes of black pudding, on the other hand, should be avoided in those suffering from adverse reactions to histamine.
