Bread type

[cleochara]

I have difficulty in finding swg bread where I live, though my local bakery makes bread from barley flour. Its a heavy, dark bread with fibres and I have found that it helps my digestive system well. Any opinions on products / bread made with barley?

You should google SWG bread I don’t know where you live but in Australia you can buy online & have it delivered !! I have just had 6 loaves delivered of SWG ancient grains barley & rye !! It is best to stick to the plan !!!! regards Denise2151

Thanks, Denise!
Cleochara, if the barley bread is made with whole grains and doesn’t have hydrogenated fats or high-fructose corn syrup, it’s great.

Hi both thanks for the advice, I will check out the ingredients next time i go the the bakery and will see if I can find SWG on line and how easy it is to get it delivered to Cyprus!

Hi, cleochara. Try Pandora’s bakeries – their “brown” breads (examples: 1. http://pandorabakeries.com/index.php/bread/brown-bread/traditional-cyprus-brown-wholemeal-bread-with-sour-dough.html; 2. http://pandorabakeries.com/index.php/bread/brown-bread/multicereal-german-brown-bread.html) and even this packed bread (http://pandorabakeries.com/index.php/bread/packed-bread/soft-danish-sliced-bread.html) are good alternatives.

Ian also having the same problem finding swg bread or wholegrain products, the highest grain I can find for bread is 67%. Any idea where I can buy this in essex uk??
Thanks

Also, i have ordered a loaf online to try but would rather buy in store. If I have to keep buying online can I order lots of loafs and freeze??
Thanks

Hi, Nicnick. Sprouted bread can be ordered in the UK at http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk. – see this example http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/712141_Everfresh_Organic_Sunseed_Sprouted_Bread_400g.html.
The following is a shopping guide for the UK for healthy foods in general http://www.trimdownclub.com/where-to-buy-uk/.

Regarding freezing – absolutely! In fact it is recommended for best preservation, as the best breads don’t have much by way of preservatives.

Hi I can buy SWG bread from a local health food shop. It always seems to have a really long shelf life on the packaging but I am told it goes off quickly once opened. So I slice it and put the slices into the freezer so I can pull one out at a time. I know it is a lot better for me than the lovely long white baguette but it sure does take some getting used to.x

Thank you for your help!
Just another question- if I want to have something off of the ‘this weeks recipes ideas’ how do I know what to swap it with on my planned menu for the week??

[trimjaxtrim]

Hi NIk, if you go to the right hand of the item on the menu there is a little icon. If you click on it,it gives you a new alternative list of foods you can swap with. You can even go to another day and use that menu choice because its not written in stone just a way of getting you to think about what/how and when you eat.

I found out that the bread is made from a combination of wholemeal barley flour and a lesser amount of wheat flour, together with malt and yeast, no oils, no sugars, not too bad I suppose…
