Rusks

Rusks are dry, hard baked products made from cereals. The figures here refer to the dry product, without added milk or water. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some fat and protein. Per 100g, they contain 73g of carbohydrate, including 23g of sugars, and 11g of fat. They also provide 336mg of calcium.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. The sugar content is worth noting for people monitoring their sugar intake. Rusks also contain saturated fat, which may be relevant to people watching their saturated fat intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
