Dried stuffing mix is a cereal-based product used to make stuffing. The figures here describe the dry mix, before water or other ingredients are added, and cover assorted flavours from several brands. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 67g of carbohydrate, 9.9g of protein, 5.2g of fat and 3.6g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding water changes the amount of nutrients per weight of prepared stuffing, and other added ingredients can also affect its composition. Full nutrient figures for the dried mix are in the tables below.
