About SHREDDED WHEAT, ORIGINAL
Post Original Shredded Wheat contains exactly one ingredient: whole grain wheat. BHT is added to the packaging material, not the cereal itself, to protect flavor during storage. No sugar, no salt, no additives in the food. Fiber is exceptionally high, protein is solid, and fat is minimal. This is as close to eating the whole grain directly as a shelf-stable cereal gets. The flavor is mild and nutty with a slightly dense, chewy texture that softens quickly in milk. For those counting added sugars, there are none here.
Ingredients
WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT. TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL WHEAT FLAVOR, BHT IS ADDED TO THE PACKAGING MATERIAL.
