Shredded Wheat

EverydayDryUnsweetened

Shredded Wheat is a whole-grain breakfast cereal made solely from steamed, baked, and shredded wheat kernels, with no added sugars or preservatives. Its distinctive pillow-shaped biscuits retain the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat, delivering high fiber and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. The cereal’s airy, crisp texture holds up well in milk, making it a versatile base for both sweet and savory toppings while appealing to clean-label dietary preferences.
