Bread rolls, brown, crusty

Brown crusty bread rolls are baked cereal products with a firm outer crust. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and a smaller amount of fat. Per 100g, they contain 50g of carbohydrate, 10g of protein, 2.8g of fat and 0.95g of salt. The supplied figures are based on samples from different shops.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein supports the growth and repair of tissues. These rolls also contain B vitamins and minerals, including iron and calcium. Their salt content is worth noting for people monitoring salt intake, as bread can contribute to the total amount eaten throughout the day. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
