Choosing Nutritious Bread
When selecting bread, it is crucial to examine the label carefully. If the ingredient list is lengthy and contains items that are hard to pronounce, it is best to avoid it altogether. A healthy bread typically consists of simple ingredients such as flour, water, and salt, ideally with a fiber content of over six grams per hundred grams. Paying attention to the carbohydrate to fiber ratio is also important, with a good loaf maintaining a ratio around 4 to 1, while inferior supermarket options can exceed 20 to 1.
