Brown Bread Vs. Whole Wheat
Wanting to eat healthful food, you may grab a loaf of brown bread labeled “wheat” at the grocery store. Unfortunately, you may be giving yourself the equivalent of white bread with caramel coloring added to make it look brown and “healthy.” Understanding what constitutes whole grains will help you assess bread labels to ensure that you are getting the full benefits of true whole wheat bread.
Fiber in Brown and Whole-Wheat Breads
The large amount of fiber in the bran of wheat is one of the major benefits that you get from eating whole wheat bread. A slice of white bread typically contains 1-2 grams of fiber, whereas a slice of whole wheat bread contains 2-4 grams. The benefits of fiber include prevention of constipation, reduced risk of some cancers, lowering of “bad” cholesterol and, therefore, reducing heart disease risk and lowering blood sugar to help control diabetes. Including fiber in your meals also helps with weight management because it helps you feel full.
Bread Haven takes a step forward toward prioritising aspects of content labelling where we will be emphasising more about food ingredients and it's contents. Our team have collated statistics to understand the types of breads followed by its brands, with also understanding the role we have to play in our communities livelihood when it comes to health.
We will be sharing with you soon live Vlogs on our instagram, behind the scenes, whilst Head Chef prepares samples for our distribution.
