'Food Unwrapped reveals how Shredded Wheat is REALLY made - Hot Girl The makers of Shredded Wheat and Shreddies often joke the cereals are \'knitted by nanas\' in TV adverts, but now they\'ve revealed how they\'re really made.Factory boss Matt Robinson took TV cameras from Channel 4\'s Food Unwrapped into the headquarters of the iconic breakfast cereal to show how they manage to shred wheat from the grain.In what is described as a \'feat of engineering,\' the process is revealed to be very complicated, taking more than 24 hours to create a single Shredded Wheat pillow.Matt, who is director of operations at Nestlé\'s Shredded Wheat factory in Wiltshire, shows co-presenter Jimmy Doherty how a single \'Shreddie\' is made on Monday night\'s episode - but exactly how each strand of shredded wheat is knitted together remains a trade secret.First the wheat - which is all British-grown - is cooked to soften it, before the grains are dried off in a special machine.They rest for 8 hours, and then the shredding process begins.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 whe Source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-5427435/Food-Unwrapped-reveals-Shredded-Wheat-REALLY-made.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490'
