There’s a seat in the grocery store I visit virtually every day, and this seat is across from the bread isle. I sit there and watch the shoppers pick out there bread. The vast majority of these people make terrible choices.
Pretty straight forward what you are looking for in commercial bread. First of all, it needs to be whole grain and not refined flour. Second, you would prefer to have multi-grain, not just wheat. Third, if there is added seeds of any kind, this is a positive, as it adds some protein to the bread, and so make the bread less carb-centric. Finally, you would prefer very little added sugar, preferable no sugar added at all.
Instead, the majority of people pick a bread with refined flour (and so no fiber), with only wheat flour, and lots of added sugar, and no seeds. Duh.
This bread choice, once digested by your system, turns into pure sugar with a tremendous insulin spike. Duh, duh, duh.
The Ezekiel breads are the best commercial breads, and Dave’s are pretty good too, although he does have some added sugar.
Don’t be part of this bread majority.
