Shredded wheat is a wheat-based breakfast cereal. The figures here describe the unfortified cereal, without milk or other additions. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with fibre and protein also contributing to its nutritional content. Per 100g, it contains 71g of carbohydrate, 12g of fibre and 11g of protein, and provides 1417 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function and protein is needed for the maintenance and repair of body tissues.
