Flour, corn

Cornflour is a fine powder made from maize, used to thicken sauces and other foods. The figures here describe the dry flour before cooking or mixing with other ingredients. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 92g per 100g, alongside 1508 kJ of energy, 0.6g of protein and 0.03g of salt.

The carbohydrate is mainly starch, with only trace amounts of sugars recorded. Starch is broken down during digestion to provide energy for the body. Cornflour contains little fat or protein. Although its salt content is low, the salt and energy content of a finished dish will depend on the other ingredients used. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
