Papadums are thin, crisp wafers usually made from pulse flour, such as lentil flour. The figures here describe takeaway papadums sampled from different outlets. They mainly provide fat and carbohydrate, along with protein and fibre. Per 100g, they contain 39g of fat, including 8g of saturated fat, 28g of carbohydrate and 12g of protein.
Fat contributes to the energy content of food, so the amount eaten is relevant for people watching their energy intake. The saturated fat content is also worth noting for those limiting saturated fat. Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
