A healthy slice of BREAD

a healthy slice of BREAD

If bread is a staple in your diet, make it count by choosing bread high in FIBRE.

These features may have NO added advantage:

  • breads that have “no cholesterol” – in fact most breads have no cholesterol
  • the colour – bread may be brown because of added molasses or brown sugar
  • “9 grain” or “12 grain” - there may be literally a sprinkling of these grains
Here’s what to look for:
  • Read the Nutrition Facts panel and choose a bread with at least 3 grams fibre/slice. More is better!
  • on the ingredient list, look for the words whole grain or stoned ground flour. Wheat flour, wheat bread or cracked wheat only mean the bread is made from wheat
  • if whole grain appears first on the list, it is the most predominant flour; if it’s not followed by other flours then it’s 100% whole-wheat – your very best choice!
