Bread, wholemeal, toasted

Wholemeal toast is bread made from wholemeal flour that has been toasted. It mainly provides carbohydrate, alongside fibre and protein. Per 100g, it contains 49g of carbohydrate, 8.2g of fibre, 11g of protein and 1.2g of salt. The figures describe the bread after toasting and account for water lost during heating.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Toasting reduces the bread’s water content, so nutrients become more concentrated by weight compared with untoasted bread. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
