Types Of
Bread
There are many different types of bread in this
world but there are a few basic and popular ones.
White And Whole
Grain Bread
White and Whole grain is the most common and
popular type of bread in the market today. Whole grain bread is
made by grinding grains, adding water, and heating it up.
Yeast is also added so that the bread rises.
White bread is similar to whole grain
bread. The grain is processed, the only difference is that the
hard, outer portion of the grain is stripped, removing fiber
and many vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats that are
naturally present. The remaining portion is ground to a fine
powder,and mixed with vitamins and minerals. It is
then used to bake the bread. |

special wheat that does not contain gluten. Gluten is a form of
protein which is a common allergen and those with gluten
intolerance may cause allergies. |

sourdough bread is simply wheat bread with no sweetener
added. When a sweetener like fructose corn syrup is added, the sourdough bread becomes the same as the normal bread
which we purchase. |

Sprouted
Grain Bread
A bread which is growing in popularity in recent years. Sprouted grain bread is made by soaking
the grain and allowing it to sprout. The sprouted seedlings are
mashed and baked together. Sprouting allows the enzymes in the
grain to convert some of the carbohydrates and fats to
vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Sprouted grain bread
is higher in protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals
than regular bread. It is also less refined and processed and
has less effect on the body's blood sugar. |
