Nestle Shredded Wheat

Shredded Wheat Over the years I have went through a number of phases of eating breakfast cereal. In my late teens and early twenties I found it really hard to eat any breaskfast whatsoever. Nowadays I realise the importance of having a breakfast and If I had to choose I would rather do without a lunch than a breakfast. My current phase in the world of breakfast cereals is to be healthier and one of the cereals I am eating at the minute is shredded wheat.

I usually don't do breakfast but have made a conscious effort to eat some form of "healthy" breakfast on a morning to set me up for the day. Shredded Wheat is a classic favourite which fits this description well. ***Packaging*** The outer packaging of Shredded Wheat is quite eye catching due to the bright yellow cardboard cereal box.

Shredded Wheat was something I hated as a child; it was the boring and healthy option I never went for (nearly as bad as Grandad's Muesli), but these days it's a welcome treat. Shredded Wheat is 100% natural wheat, which means it has an earthy, healthy feel to it.

The smell is like a farm-yard; the distinctive whiff of wheat fills your nostrils, which is not the most ...  Read the complete review

Shredded Wheat is made by Nestle and has been on our shelves for yonks. It's a popular cereal, and for some reason the only one I can think of that has not been copied by other brands - if you want shredded wheat, you HAVE to buy the Nestle one as no one else makes it.

When it comes to breakfast cereals I will usually go for a cheaper alternative but for some reason I can't seem to find a Shredded wheat replica. Maybe this is because they are really hard to copy or maybe there's not much call for them. What are they? They are big, plump rectangular biscuits made of 100% whole wheat. They have absolutely nothing added to the biscuits so are a really healthy biscuit and according Ian Botham, it's one of the steps you can take having and maintaining a healthy heart. Look and smell. When you rip open the paper wrapper that the Shredded Wheat are packaged in you immediately get a huge whiff of the wheat. To ...  Read the complete review
