Question from Nell
Hi Debra,
I am wondering about the breads in the stores that are labeled 100% whole wheat but are as soft and lightweight as white bread. Can they really be 100% whole grain and are they just as healthy as the heavier breads? I just find it hard to believe. What do you say?
Thanks,
Nell
Debra’s Answer
It is difficult to answer such a general question as I don’t have all the details on ALL the breads on the market.
I have seen recipes for “light” whole wheat bread that are 100% whole wheat. But many that are part whole wheat and part white flour.
The best recommendation I can give you is to read the label and make sure 100% of the flour is whole wheat.
