Why Choose Wheat Bread Over White Bread?

On Feb 11th, 2013 Published By Joseph

Bread has been part of the lives of many people around the world. It can be eaten together with different stuffs such as meat products, vegetables, soup and jams. Most of the time, people purchase white bread which some say is less nutritious than wheat bread. Although white bread and wheat bread are both made from wheat flour, there are some factors that make them different. Here are some reasons why wheat bread is better than white bread.

Fiber

Wheat bread is a good source of fiber since it is made from wheat berries. Wheat berries are composed of three parts which are the bran, germ and endosperm. White bread is made from wheat flour that is derived only from the wheat berry’s endosperm that is why it contains less fiber.

Flavor and Texture

2There are people who love eating wheat bread because of its flavor and texture. Compared to white bread, wheat bread is a bit crumbly and has a stronger taste. Most gourmet snack shops use wheat bread to create their sandwiches as it is more flavorful.

Costs

Although white bread costs lesser than wheat bread, wheat bread is heavier when eaten. Some bakeshops add more grains to the wheat bread that they sell to make it a healthier option. Multi-grain wheat bread is a good choice for people who do not want to get hungry fast.

Why Wheat Bread Over White Bread

Many people choose white bread over wheat bread due to popularity. Another thing that makes other people purchase white bread is because of the high amounts of gluten present in wheat bread which can be bad for people who have allergies and gluten-intolerance. On the other hand, there are some who always go for wheat bread over white bread because of the numerous health benefits and high fiber content which can help the body in flushing out toxins.

Potato Bread: A Bread Choice Taboo?

On Feb 4th, 2013 Published By Joseph

1I remember going grocery shopping one day and needing to buy more bread.  Wandering down the bread isle, I remember growing tired of the simple wheat or white bread.  So I was looking for something slightly different.  Then a lady standing beside me grabbed a loaf of potato bread and I remember thinking how awful that could taste.  So I asked her, “what does potato bread taste like?”  She responded that it was very good.  Then surprisingly, she opened up the loaf she was purchasing and gave me a slice.  It was soft, smooth, slightly dense, creamy in color and the taste was very pleasant.  It does not have an over powering taste and texture like anticipated.  From that point on, I had a new alternative bread choice.  That lady had planted a seed without realizing it.

Potato bread doesn’t seem to be a popular bread choice, such as wheat, rye or sour dough.  But it should be.  Even in restaurants, unless it’s a restaurant specializing in bread, you won’t find it on most menus.  If we think of all the fries, hash browns and scalloped cheesy potatoes we love to eat, why would  potato bread not be a favorite as well?
For some, potato bread may not be a first alternative because it may be perceived as an unhealthy bread choice.  But, this is far from the truth.  In fact, potato bread can be as healthy and tasty as you make it.  In fact, freshly bake your own potato bread.  This way there would be no worries of added preservatives or other ingredients that can be left out and customized to your dietary needs.  You don’t have to be good in the kitchen to do it.

Baking potato bread is a basic recipe made simple.  What makes this recipe so unique is combining some wheat flour with mashed potatoes or potato flakes.  You can even use red, yellow or white potatoes.  Then by adding water, butter, sugar, dry yeast and salt completes a basic potato bread recipe.  Next to make your own customized dietary potato bread is by using only gluten free ingredients, leaving out the salt or tweaking it to fit you and your family’s needs.  Gluten free products like those from weight loss punch, are becoming more and more popular, due to allergies and other dietary choices. Also experiment and try adding other favorites such as bacon, chives, onions, garlic or bake it up as a loaded baked potato bread.  Also by adding honey, nuts or different cheeses can be a fun, healthy alternative for making potato bread appetizers, meals or snacks.  Do you like sweet potatoes?  Well, there you go!
