Is white bread really bad for you?

When enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, no white bread isn't necessarily "bad" for you.

But if it features as part of your everyday lunch, then it may be worth opting for something a little greener.

Although certainly delicious, white bread is very low in fibre and high in sugar.

In other words, this everyday option doesn't have much nutritional value.

After all, wholemeal flour contains loads of fibre while the bread itself even boasts more vitamins and minerals than white bread.

But if you're after a long-lasting source of energy (fitness buffs, we're looking at you), then multigrain may just be the way to go.

The combination of white flour and added grains make multigrain rich in fiber as well as a super low Glycemic Indx (GI).

Wholegrain bread is also a surprisingly great source of protein, unsaturated fats as well containing three different types of fibre.

But when all is said and done, we may just stick to Best of Both...
