The verdict
Reach for the whole-wheat bread
Whole-wheat bread keeps the bran and germ, so it has more fibre, protein, and micronutrients and a gentler effect on blood sugar.
Reach for the white bread
White bread is softer and milder but largely stripped of fibre.
Look for '100% whole grain' as the first ingredient: 'wheat flour' or 'multigrain' alone isn't the same thing.
