Sweetcorn, dried

Dried sweetcorn is sweetcorn with much of its water removed. The figures here describe the dried form and are calculated from raw sweetcorn data. It mainly provides carbohydrate, alongside protein and fat. Per 100g, it contains 36g of carbohydrate, 13g of protein and 7.1g of fat, with an energy content of 1059 kJ.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Dried sweetcorn also contains magnesium and potassium, which contribute to normal muscle and nerve function. Removing water concentrates nutrients and energy by weight, which is worth noting when considering energy intake. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
