How do you choose your Small Striped Sunflower Seeds

Small Striped Sunflower Seeds What's wrong with wholemeal? Strictly speaking, a bread made withwholemeal flour can be labelled whole grain because it does containthe whole grain - ie the wheat's bran and germ, the nutritious bitsthat are removed to make white flour - in the same proportion asfound in whole grain bread. But because the fibre in wholemealflour is ground so finely, it has a higher Glycemic Index thandenser whole grain breads. "Wholemeal bread might have more fibre than 100% white flour andmore nutrients but, like white flour, it has a high GI and doesn'tkeep you feeling full for very long," says Davie. "Any bread madewith wholewheat flour is more nutritious than white as it's theouter husk surrounding the wheat - stripped away to make whiteflour - that contains the majority of nutrients." This makes itnutritionally better than white bread, but not as a nutritious as agood whole grain bread - one that's brown in colour, heavy inweight and with the most visible grain kernels, say Davie andMcMillan Price. What's so good about pumpernickel, according to Star Foods, is that it's made from whole grain rye, is very high in fibre,and packed with nutrients including B vitamins and iron, is low GI- and again, hard to overeat, says Judy Davie. Wholegrain sourdough and rye sourdough get a five star rating forcombining both the nutrients and fibre from a whole grain with theGI lowering benefit that comes with making bread with an acidicsourdough starter (made from fermenting flour and water) ratherthan yeast. My pick of the best breads? If I'm supermarket shopping it's Burgenrye or soy and linseed, but if I'm at the deli or health food shopor market I'll get breads from smaller bakeries like Common Ground,Sonoma, Bowen Island or La Tartine. I also love Pure Life'sSprouted Essene bread - a very moist heavy bread made with sproutedwheat or rye that's almost like cake. Lower in salt, but higher inprotein than most breads, a single slice keeps you going for hours. which lets you key in the name of just about any food you can thinkof to find out its nutrient value and tips for using it.
