Bread rolls, wholemeal

Wholemeal bread rolls are individual baked breads made with wholemeal flour, which includes the bran and germ of the grain. The figures here describe wholemeal rolls without fillings or toppings. They mainly provide carbohydrate, alongside protein and fibre. Per 100g, they contain 46g of carbohydrate, 10g of protein, 5.5g of fibre and 0.95g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as fillings and accompaniments can add further salt. Full nutrient figures, including energy, vitamins and minerals, are provided in the tables below.
