Shredded Wheat vs Organic Crunch – Which is Healthier?

Our Verdict

When comparing Shredded Wheat to Organic Crunch, we picked the Shredded Wheat.

Why?

In this battle of the cereals, it comes down to the ingredients:

• The Shredded Wheat cereal has two ingredients: wheat (shredded), and BHT. The latter is a phenolic compound and antioxidant.
• The Organic Crunch cereal has lots of ingredients, of which the first two are wheat flour, and sugar.

This means that, per serving…

• The Shredded Wheat cereal has 7g fiber and 0g sugar
• The Organic Crunch cereal has 3g fiber and 12g sugar

Quite a difference! Sometimes, the “Organic Crunch” of a product comes from crunchy sugar.
