Bread, hamburger buns

Hamburger buns are bread rolls used to hold burgers and other fillings. These figures describe packaged buns topped with sesame seeds, including frozen products. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 49g of carbohydrate, 9.1g of protein, 5g of fat and 1.4g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when buns are eaten with fillings or sauces that also contain salt. These buns contain sesame, which is a food allergen. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (5 packets of 6 buns including frozen, topped with sesame seeds). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Cereals and Cereal Products Supplement, 1988. Selenium, from Analysis of foods for Selenium 1994.
