Wheat has a high nutritional value, each 100 grams of edible portion contains 10.1 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, 77.4 grams of carbohydrates, 6.0 grams of insoluble dietary fiber, thiamin 0.46 mg, vitamin E 0.91 mg, folic acid 30.1ug, calcium 58 mg, 342 mg of phosphorus, potassium 356 mg, sodium 2.1 mg, magnesium 116 mg, iron 2.9 mg, zinc 1.75 mg and other nutrients.
