The nutritional value of refined wheat flour, commonly known as maida, per 100 grams is approximately as follows:
- Calories: Approximately 364 kcal
- Carbohydrates: Around 76 grams
- Protein: Roughly 10 grams
- Fat: Generally less than 1 gram
- Fiber: Very low content, about 2 grams
- Vitamins and Minerals: Contains fewer nutrients compared to whole wheat flour (atta) due to the refining process. It may contain small amounts of B vitamins and iron, but the nutritional content is significantly reduced compared to whole wheat flour.
Please note that maida, being a refined flour, undergoes a process that removes the outer bran and germ layers of the wheat grain, diminishing its fiber and nutrient content compared to whole wheat flour. As a result, it is generally considered less nutritious. Always refer to the nutritional information provided on the product packaging for precise details.
