Whole wheat bread , a staple meal replacement that has become popular in the past two years, is deeply loved by weight loss fitness people. Some friends think that whole wheat bread is definitely more nutritious than ordinary bread . In fact, it is not the case. whole wheat flour grinds the whole wheat into powder and tastes extremely rough. The older generation is very familiar with it. In their words, "whole wheat flour is the second most flour". This is indeed the case. Compared with today's refined flour, whole wheat flour is much worse in terms of appearance and taste. Then why do so many friends like to eat whole wheat bread?
Advantages of whole wheat bread
Although whole wheat bread has a poor taste, it has greater advantages than ordinary bread in these 4 aspects.
First of all, the calories of whole wheat bread is lower . The main selling point of whole wheat bread is "low fat, low sugar , low oil", so the whole bread has almost no sugar oil ingredients, and the calories cooked in this way are greatly reduced.
Secondly, whole wheat bread has a stronger sense of fullness, which can quickly create a fullness, and indirectly reduce the intake of other foods.
Again, whole wheat bread has a lower GI value . GI is the glycemic index. Foods with high GI can easily turn into fat and accumulate in the body after entering the body, and they are prone to hunger. On the contrary, foods with low GI can help stabilize blood sugar and maintain health.
Finally, whole wheat bread is more nutritious . The main content of refined flour is starch and a small amount of protein and vitamins. In addition to being rich in vitamin B, whole wheat flour also has trace elements such as calcium, iron and zinc. The protein is also much higher than refined flour, so it is more nutritious.
whole wheat bread is difficult to tell whether it is true or false
whole wheat bread is becoming more and more popular in the market due to the various advantages mentioned above and people's attention to healthy diet. But in fact, foods that are completely whole wheat are rare. Some products that look like whole wheat bread actually add additional syrup, caramel coloring , in order to make the bread appear light brown and look like whole wheat products. In addition, in order to improve the rough taste of whole wheat bread, many "fake products" will also add quality improvers, food additives and other soften breads.
How to buy real whole wheat bread?
The whole wheat bread on the market is more fake and really less, so how can we choose "real whole wheat"? Xiaoxiao specially consulted the baker who had been working around me for a long time. He pointed out three small tricks for distinguishing me, and learned to pick one by one and never buy the wrong one again.
. Look at the ingredients list.
Usually, the higher the ingredient list, the greater the proportion added. The first thing that comes with whole wheat flour is real whole wheat bread, and the amount is generally added between 40% and 60%, which can not only ensure a relatively delicate taste, but also have a low overall content.
. Look at the energy and fat index.
General food packaging has a nutritional ratio table. At this time, we can pay extra attention to the energy value and fat content. Generally, the energy is below 1000J and the fat content is within 1%. If it exceeds it, relatively more sugars and fat can be added, which cannot meet the standard of "low oil, low sugar, low fat" for whole wheat bread.
, look at the taste.
Whole wheat bread retains some of the ingredients of the paste and bran layer in the whole wheat, so it tastes "coarse" and has a hard feel. Some even taste discomfort of shave the tongue. Therefore, in the traditional sense, those breads that can make you have a happy meal are not real whole wheat breads.
