Healthy Bread Brands You Can Find In Any Grocery Store
"Let's be honest, it can be very difficult shopping for nutritious foods. Take bread, for example. For one person gluten is a strict no-no. For someone else, fiber content is the most crucial line on a product's nutritional information panel. Yes, when it comes to breads, there's no one size fits all option. But that doesn't mean there aren't some guidelines to help you make the best choices to meet your individual health needs."
"Of course, a good starting point is checking if a brand uses tons of chemicals like artificial dyes in their breads. Other possible buzzwords and phrases to watch for include "organic," "non-GMO," "gluten-free," and "all natural." But as Consumer Reports points out, even a manufacturer that uses natural ingredients could have breads that are high in sodium or sugar. Plus, it's not uncommon for a particular food brand to have a diverse portfolio of products, some of which you might want as your go-to bread option, while others might not be the right choice for your health."
"So, no matter how you slice it (no pun intended), it's important to be a conscientious consumer and read food labels — not just when shopping for bread, but for all types of food. With that said, there are some brands in your local supermarket's bread aisle that stand out for their healthy product options."
