Which bread do I choose?
Recently I received this question from FOODPICKER.org:
Question: My husband has diabetes and we always eat whole wheat bread but wanted something different for a change. Is rye bread or sourdough bread as good of an option as whole wheat?
Answer: What is great about wheat and whole grain breads is that they contain lots of fiber. When choosing bread make sure that “wheat” or “whole grain” is somewhere on the nutritional label. Specifically, make sure that “wheat” or ”whole grain” is listed as the first ingredient on the nutritional labels. The problem with choosing rye or sourdough bread is that they are lower in fiber. Grams of carbohydrates generally doesn’t differ, so 1 slice of bread is 1 carbohydrate choice, or 15 grams of carbohydrate.
