Health bread is marketed as a healthy option, often high in fiber or protein and lower in calories than commercial breads. Whole wheat and multigrain breads are popular options, but consumers should read labels to ensure they are truly whole grain. Some healthy breads are made with higher protein grains, nuts, and legumes, and may be marketed as suitable for low-carb or high-fiber diets. Some breads are also made without allergens or gluten for those with sensitivities.
Health bread is a bread, usually containing whole grains, marketed as being particularly healthy, and in some cases capable of addressing or adapting to certain health conditions. As many governments generally do not restrict the use of the term health bread or actually define it, a variety of breads with widely different recipes may be marketed as health bread. However, in many cases, breads marketed this way are often high in fiber or protein and may be lower in calories than some commercial breads.
Bread is a staple in many people’s diets. It is used in a variety of recipes to prepare sandwiches and is also eaten plain. Some have questioned its value as a food, particularly when the bread is made from refined white flour. Also, some weight loss diets, such as a low carb diet, are incompatible with eating regular breads. Some people have allergies and dietary sensitivities that make eating bread inadvisable. In response to these concerns, some bread companies and bakeries market healthy bread that is formulated without allergens or carbohydrates or as a more nutritionally dense product.
Perhaps the most familiar types of healthy breads are those known as whole wheat or multigrain in the US or whole wheat in the UK. These breads are generally made from one or more grains that have not undergone refining. It is also important to know that just as the term health bread is not always regulated by government agencies, terms like whole wheat may not be regulated either. As such, consumers have a responsibility to read product labels to determine the process for making the flour used in the bread. Many people believe that breads made from whole grains, compared to refined flour, are more nutritious and offer health benefits over white bread.
Some types of healthy bread are made with grains, nuts, and legumes that are higher in protein than traditional flours. These breads can also be high in fiber, which many people believe has health benefits. Breads made this way may also be marketed as diet breads, suitable for those on low-carb or high-fiber diets. In some cases, breads may be made from grains other than wheat to eliminate gluten, to which some people are sensitive or allergic, allowing these people to enjoy bread on a regular basis.
