Truly healthful bread contains ground-up whole grains, with the bran, wheat germ, and endosperm present. Such breads have double, triple, and in some cases quadruple nutrient value when compared with their refined counterparts.
When combined with fresh fruit, cereals, vegetables, potatoes, and beans, bread makes interesting and satisfying meals and helps maintain good energy levels for long periods.
Look for the substantial-feeling loaves that aren't full of air. Look for 100 percent whole wheat ,stone ground if possible. Sprouted -wheat breads are also excellent. Find a reliable bakery . Better yet, make your own bread.
