Currant buns, toasted

Currant buns are bread-based baked products containing dried currants; the figures here describe them toasted. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, they contain 58g of carbohydrate, including 18g of sugars, alongside 8.9g of protein and 6.2g of fat. The values are calculated to account for weight lost during toasting.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Currant buns also contain fibre, which supports normal bowel function.
