Shreddies in the UK are &pound;0.42 per 100g and the cost of Shredded Wheat are &pound;0.40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on this information, Shredded Wheat are slightly cheaper than Shreddies, although there isn&rsquo;t much difference in price between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"winner\">Overall Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All categories have now been compared and the winner of most categories for nutrition and cost is Shredded Wheat which won in best for calories, carbs, sugar, protein, salt content, and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that Shreddies are still a great option and were only slightly behind in most categories and surprisingly they&rsquo;re slightly higher in fiber too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is best for you, depends on what is most important to you and your diet, but hopefully, you can use the information in this article to make an informed breakfast cereal choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Comparison Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Winner (Shreddies or Shredded Wheat)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Calorie Content<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Carbohydrate Content<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Sugar Content<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Protein Content<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Fat Content<\/td><td>Shreddies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Fiber Content<\/td><td>Shreddies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Salt Content<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Vitamins\/Minerals<\/td><td>Unable to compare<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Best for Price<\/td><td>Shredded Wheat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Overall Winner<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Shredded Wheat<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f6f6f6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope this article has helped you to find the information you were looking for;
