Flour, wheat, white, self raising

White self-raising wheat flour is finely milled wheat flour with raising agents added, described here in its dry, uncooked form. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and fibre. Per 100g, it contains 80g of carbohydrate, 8.9g of protein, 4g of fibre and 0.86g of salt.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as raising agents can contribute sodium. The nutrient content of foods made with this flour will also depend on the other ingredients used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
