What type of bread?
CHOOSING A GOOD BREAD
Some breads are healthier and are more nutritious than others. To choosing a bread, look for those made with 100% whole grains or sprouted-grain flours. A few good options include sourdough, sprouted whole grain, 100% whole wheat, oat bread, flax bread, 100% spouted rye bread, and healthy gluten-free bread.
