? Whole wheat bread refers to bread made of whole wheat flour without removing bran and germ. Bran is rich in B vitamins, protein and dietary fiber, and also contains minerals needed by human body, such as potassium and zinc.
? However, the whole wheat bread we bought in the supermarket may not really be whole wheat bread. Choosing whole wheat bread depends on the following aspects:
? 1. Look at the ingredient list: the first ingredient in the ingredient list of whole wheat bread is "whole wheat flour", while the first ingredient in many whole wheat breads sold in supermarkets is "wheat flour".
? 2. Look at dietary fiber and energy: The dietary fiber of whole wheat bread is relatively high, but the energy is very low. If you see that whole wheat bread is high in energy, it must not be real whole wheat bread.
? 3. Look at the accessories: Whole wheat bread tastes bad. Usually, merchants will add some sucrose and essence to change the taste. Be sure to read it carefully when you buy it.
? 4. Look at the texture. Whole wheat flour contains more bran and germ than wheat flour, so there are many brown particles visible to the naked eye on the surface of whole wheat bread, which looks less white, has a rough texture and feels harder. Of course, it will sting if eaten.
Well, these are some ways to choose whole wheat bread. I hope I can help you.
