About White buns

White buns are soft, round bread rolls made primarily from refined white flour, water, yeast, and sugar. Originating from European cuisine and widely adopted globally, they are a staple in many households and often served as a base for sandwiches, burgers, or as a side to meals. White buns have a mild, slightly sweet flavor and light, airy texture. Nutritionally, they are a source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but are relatively low in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals due to the use of refined flour. They typically contain about 140-160 kcal, 25-30g of carbohydrates, and small amounts of protein and fat per serving (approximately one bun).

Health Benefits

• White buns provide a quick source of energy due to their high carbohydrate content, which the body uses for immediate fuel.
• They serve as a convenient source of energy for individuals with high-calorie needs, such as athletes or active children.
• When fortified, some white buns may supply essential nutrients such as iron or B-vitamins like thiamine and niacin.
