The Truth About Bread
Bread is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world, along with other refined grains and processed foods. It isn’t harmful (unless you’re coeliac ~see below). It’s a carbohydrate which provides us with energy, but It is eating the right kinds which are important for our health.
White processed bread has very few nutrients. It contains refined wheat flour, a processed form of wheat grain. When it goes through processing the flour loses the most nutritious parts of the wheat grain. It is also pumped full of pesticides, herbicides, additives, rising agents, and preservatives.
Ideally, you want to be eating whole grains in their natural form. Whole grains keep their nutrients intact within their cell walls. They provide us with more nutrients and fibre than refined grains.
As I say, it’s all about 𝕞𝕠𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟. If you love eating bread, then enjoy it. Try making your own bread or opt for a sourdough loaf. It’s always best to know the ingredients, and I am a believer that if you don't recognise the ingredient, don't eat it. Paleo bread is a great alternative if you want a grain-free option.
I LOVE sourdough and sometimes have it for breakfast with eggs and spinach/avocado/nut butter and fruit. Today’s brekkie was seeded sourdough with almond butter, raspberries, flaked almonds, and cacao nibs. I made sure I had some protein and fat in there, and the raspberries are a great source of fibre and full of antioxidants.
