  • Whole Wheat Bread is made from the addition of wheat flour into a traditional bread recipe. Breads utilizing wheat flour have been more heavily integrated into North American diets based on their strong whole grain content.
  • Health Benefits

    Much like rye varieties, whole wheat bread and related products are a rich source of manganese and dietary fiber. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition emphasizes that whole grain consumption may help control body weight, lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and even help lessen the pain inflammatory diseases. The high fiber content in whole wheat bread has been shown to help prevent breast cancer and gallstones.

    When choosing a whole wheat bread, it is important to find a product that has not been heavily processed, as this may lessen the fiber content and substantially reduce the health benefits.
