There are many different types of bread available to purchase in your supermarket these days such as your common day variety white bread, wholemeal, multi grain, linseed and soya and the choice goes on. Though when it comes to the choice between buying bread and making fresh bread at home, nothing beats the taste or the health benefits of making your own bread at home.
The next time you purchase a loaf of commercial bread, have a read of the ingredients on your packet of bread. You will discover that wholemeal bread is actually made form enriched flour.
Wheat Bread
Enriched flour is flour containing nutrients such as thiamin and riboflavin that have been added back into the flour. This is done to replace some of the nutrients that have been destroyed in the manufacturing process. Unfortunately, enriched flour does not have the same health benefits or qualities as 100% whole wheat containing the germ and bran, which are packed with essential minerals and vitamins.
One of the benefits of making your own bread at home is that you can easily adopt any whole wheat bread recipe to suit your taste buds and health requirements.
Consider milling your own whole wheat flour to use in your bread recipes. Wheat can be easily milled into flour using a simple home grinder. That way, you can enjoy the benefits of using wholemeal flour, which retains all the goodness of the whole grain as nature intended.
One of the downsides of commercial white bread is that it tends to rate high on the Glycemic Index scale. Given the ever increasing problems of diseases such as diabetics and obesity in our society today, changing your diet to include whole wheat bread will benefit your health.
Wholemeal bread is richer in dietary fiber, and includes minerals such as manganese, phosphorus, and selenium. It also contains important vitamins such as vitamin B6 and vitamin E. Adding more whole wheat products to your diet such as whole wheat bread will improve your health and hopefully lower your chance of suffering from heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.
Your family will thank you for providing healthy home made bread each day that not only tastes great, but is packed with more essential nutrients than commercial bread.
