Cornmeal, sifted

Sifted cornmeal is maize grain that has been ground and passed through a sieve to remove coarser particles. The figures here describe the dry product rather than cornmeal cooked with water or other ingredients. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 73g per 100g, alongside 9.4g of protein and 3.3g of fat. Its energy content is 1540 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Cornmeal also contains thiamin, which helps the body release energy from food. The supplied data record only trace amounts of salt, although salt added during preparation will change the final amount. Cooking with water changes the nutrient concentration by weight. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
