Potato powder, instant, made up with whole milk

Instant potato powder is a dried potato product, described here after preparation with whole milk according to packet directions. The figures are calculated from the ingredients and refer to the prepared food, rather than the dry powder. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 15g of carbohydrate, 2.4g of protein, 1.2g of fat and 23mg of vitamin C.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron from plant foods and supports normal connective tissue formation. Salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
