They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat, with a smaller amount of protein. Per 100g, they provide 1685 kJ of energy, 46g of carbohydrate, 24g of fat and 16g of sugars.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The energy and sugar content are relevant for people monitoring their intake. Soaking, cooking or adding other ingredients may change the nutritional values of the food as eaten. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
