Bread, white, toasted

White toast is white bread that has been heated to brown it and reduce its water content. The figures here describe white bread in its toasted form. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and fibre. Per 100g, it contains 56g of carbohydrate, 9.7g of protein, 3g of fibre and 1.2g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Spreads and other toppings can add salt, sugar, saturated fat or energy and are not included in these figures.
