Bread Alternatives

Most of the time my recipes calls for whole wheat bread. I know not everybody gets to make their own 100% whole wheat bread. One alternative would be to buy it right from the shelf. Swiss Bake is one bakery at the basement level of Takashimaya I would recommend. They have a variety of healthy bread that doesn't make use or use very little of enriched white flour and preservatives. However, do take note that the first ingredient in the list of ingredients is not wheat flour. Wheat flour is also known white flour and this flour tampers with your blood sugar level to a huge extent!

Another alternative would be Sunshine's bread whole-grain bread which contains 60% whole meal flour. When purchasing, look for Sunshine and the package will have this quite eye-attracting text saying 60% whole grain......This is the only bread on the shelf that contains the highest percentage of whole meal flour and less of white flour. Do take note that although it contains 60% whole meal flour, there is still presence of a significant amount of white flour. Bread suppliers cannot up too much of the whole meal flour as the bread will be much denser than normal bread and consumers may not like it. Therefore, they still have to add in white flour to give it that soft, fluffy and palatable feel. Though this may be another choice, I would suggest to use it occasionally as white flour is really a devil to our health, especially diabetic patients.
