It’s Made with 100% Whole Grains

Packaging should clearly say that the bread is “100% whole wheat.”

It Contains at Least 3 Grams of Protein

When grains are not processed, they keep all three layers of the plant: the endosperm, bran, and germ. But in refining flour, the bran and the germ are removed, taking away the highest concentrations of protein found in the grains.

It Has at Least 2 Grams of Fiber Per Slice

You should consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily as part of a balanced diet.

It Has a Moderate Amount of Sodium

Too much sodium can cause high blood pressure and dehydration, so look for a loaf with less than 160 mg of sodium per slice.

It’s Sourdough

The process results in a more easily digestible product, reduction of phytic acid content, improvement in nutritional value, and metabolic benefits through a lower glycemic index.

It Has a Short Ingredients List

A shorter list indicates a lack of additives and preservatives that may be found in less nutritious breads.

It Has Little to No Added Sugar

It Contains Nuts and Seeds

Healthy nuts and seeds can increase a bread’s nutritional value by being good sources of healthy unsaturated fats, fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds.
