Taste Test Tuesday: White Bread Lovers 100% Whole Wheat Bread
This bread has the taste and soft texture of the "honey wheat breads" on the shelf that ARE NOT 100% whole wheat, but it's made with 100% whole-wheat flour. Yes, indeed, the first ingredient is "whole wheat flour." You have to look after tasting this bread because it seems so much softer than the 100% whole wheat breads you've tasted before.
It does list high fructose corn syrup as its 4th ingredient with honey as its 5th, but in two slices of the bread there are 5 grams of sugar, 26 total grams of carbohydrate, and 4 grams of fiber!
And thanks to fortification, two slices also contributes 10% Daily Value for calcium. I'll tell you what you won't find in this bread; partially hydrogenated oils (and trans fats) and artificial colors and flavors.
It's no hearty 100% multi-grain bread mind you, with oats blanketing the top, but it's a great bread for white bread lovers who are trying to make the transition to whole grain, and that's an important step to take. I'm glad there's a bread to help them do just that.

The "delightful" 100% whole wheat bread is really, really, really good too. It barely tastes any different than white bread and has only 45 calories per slice!
I found I rather like the D'Italiano Light Italian bread: 2 slices 80 calories, 18g carbs, 1g sugars, 4g fiber, 4g protein, 20% calcium. It tastes like white bread but with less carbs.
