It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and fibre. Per 100g, it contains 81g of carbohydrate, 9.1g of protein and 4g of fibre, and provides 1501 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of tissues. The flour itself contains little salt or saturated fat, but ingredients added during baking or cooking can change the amounts in the finished food.
