- Look for "whole grain" bread, but be aware that some manufacturers might fake it.
- Research your bread choices to ensure genuine whole grain content.
Bread Marketing Tricks
- Terms like "granary" are meaningless, and "malted loaf" often means added sugar.
- Supermarket "freshly baked" bread is often pre-frozen, pre-cooked, and a year old.
