Frosted Shredded Wheat

Frosted Shredded Wheat

EverydaySweetened

Frosted Shredded Wheat is a sweetened breakfast cereal made by coating whole-grain wheat biscuits with a thin layer of sugar frosting. While maintaining the original cereal’s high fiber content and nutty flavor, the frosting adds sweetness to balance its natural earthiness, though it increases carbohydrate density compared to unsweetened varieties. This lightly processed cereal is often paired with milk for breakfast or eaten dry as a snack, offering a compromise between whole-grain nutrition and palatable sweetness.
