Many of us prefer the lightness and slight sweetness of white bread – some all the time, others occasionally. We have good news for you. As long as health-promoting ingredients are in the white bread, it can be good for us.

Honey, more than a sweetener

Honey, one of the key ingredients in Wellness White Bread made with Honey, is more than just a natural sweetener. The fructose, glucose and other monosaccharides in honey are important energy sources, a fact that is being recognised by athletes.

In her paper: ‘Honey – Health and Therapeutic Qualities’ published in 2001 by The National Honey Board, Angela M Miraglio MS, RD, FADA quotes a study undertaken by Michigan State University. The study was conducted to determine among other things the effect of honey on commercially available bifidobacteria strains in milk. One of the findings published was that: “ There was a synergistic effect among the carbohydrate components of honey in promoting growth and activity of bifidobacteria”. This makes honey an important functional food additive.

Unbleached flour

The baking quality of Wellness White Bread made with honey is improved with the use of unbleached flour, which has been whitened by natural oxidation through several weeks of storage. The addition of dehydrated sourdough gives the bread a unique flavour .
