Custard powder

Custard powder is a starch-based powder used to make custard. These figures describe the dry powder, not custard prepared with milk or sugar. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 92g per 100g. The same amount contains 0.7g of fat, 0.6g of protein and 0.95g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body. The powder contains only trace amounts of sugars, but sugar added during preparation will increase the sugar content of the finished custard. Milk also changes its nutrient content, including the amounts of protein and calcium. The salt content of the powder is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures for the dry powder are in the tables below.
