Flour, rice

Rice flour is made by grinding rice into a fine powder. The figures here describe the flour itself, rather than a cooked food made with it. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 80g per 100g. The same amount contains 6.4g of protein and 0.8g of fat, and provides 1531 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Rice flour contains little fat or salt on its own, but the amounts in foods made with it depend on the other ingredients added. This is worth noting when considering energy or salt intake.
