Why this score?
  • About 6 g of fibre per 100 g, almost twice a white roll.
  • Wholemeal flour keeps the bran and germ, so it carries more magnesium and B vitamins than white flour.
  • Wholemeal flour is finely milled, so its GI (74) is close to a white roll (73).
  • A lower GI comes from rolls with whole, unmilled grains and seeds: the multigrain roll.
