Sweetened Shredded Wheat Cereal

Sweetened Shredded Wheat Cereal

EverydaySweetened

Sweetened shredded wheat cereal is a whole grain breakfast food made from pressed wheat strands coated with added sugars, often in the form of light frosting or honey glaze. While maintaining the original version's high fiber content and signature airy crunch, the sweetened variety balances nutritional value with palatability through controlled sugar additions, typically containing 30-50% more carbohydrates per serving than plain shredded wheat. This modification positions it as a transitional option between sugary cereals and minimally processed whole grain alternatives.
