Bannocks, made with beremeal, homemade

Bannocks are flatbreads, and the form described here is homemade bannocks made with beremeal, a flour milled from bere barley. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and a small amount of fat. Per 100g, they contain 57g of carbohydrate, 9.3g of protein and 1.7g of fat, and provide 1131 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Beremeal contains gluten, so these bannocks are not suitable for people with coeliac disease. The energy and salt content may be relevant to people monitoring their intake, and homemade recipes can vary with the ingredients used. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
