Twiglets are savoury wholewheat sticks eaten as a snack. They mainly provide carbohydrate, alongside fibre, protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 63g of carbohydrate, 12g of fibre and 12g of protein. Their salt content is 2g per 100g, which is relevant for people monitoring their salt intake.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Salt content is worth considering alongside other foods eaten during the day, as excess salt can contribute to raised blood pressure.
