Currant buns are baked bread products containing dried currants. The figures here describe retail buns bought from supermarkets and bakeries. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 53g of carbohydrate, including 16g of sugars, alongside 8g of protein and 5.6g of fat.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugar content includes sugars from the dried fruit as well as any added sugar; the figures do not distinguish between these sources. Sugar, salt and energy content are relevant when comparing products or monitoring intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
