How to Pick Whole Grain Bread
We all know "whole grain" is best for us, but do we really know what that means? When picking whole grain bread, look for the qualities laid out in the following steps to be sure you are truly getting what you pay for.
Instructions
1 Look past the advertising tricks. Many bread labels claim to be whole grain by using words like "multigrain," "seven grain," and "cracked wheat," but don't be fooled by these catchy labels.
2 Remember that looks can be deceiving. Just because bread is brown in color does not necessarily mean that it is whole grain. Many wheat breads are enhanced with caramel coloring to make them appear nutritious.
3 Read the nutritional information. True whole grain breads will contain at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
4 Try a few brands over a few weeks' time. Bread is a personal matter, as silly as it may sound. You may have to try 3 or 4 brands before you find one with just the right crust, moisture level and overall taste.
5 Look for the stamp of approval. In 2005 a stamp was created so that consumers could easily differentiate true whole grains from imposters. Go to the Whole Grain Council's Website to learn more about the stamp.
6 Check out Real Simple magazine's article, "The Best Whole Grain Breads" to see which whole grain breads were rated as top of the line by their food editors.
