How is shredded wheat made

Shredded Wheat cereal has been around since The pillow-like biscuits are made from whole wheat before being knitted together. First the wheat - which is all British-grown - is cooked to soften it, before the grains are dried off in a special machine.

Matt reveals that each grain of wheat is fed through two rollers: one smooth, and one grooved. The rollers force the grain into the grooves, which shreds them so that they form one long spaghetti-like strand of wheat. As each grain is fed into the rollers, it fuses with the next one which is how it forms a long, continuous strand. Matt reveals: 'If you shred [the wheat] when too wet, it just smears, and if too dry it shatters. It has to be the right moisture and the right texture. Each Shredded Wheat 'biscuit' surprisingly contains a shredded wheat strand that is about metres long.

After the wheat is shredded, it takes 18 hours in a secret process to knit them together. The biscuits are then baked before being shipped out to supermarkets all over the UK.
