More about bread
Most of us know how important it is to enjoy a balanced diet.
But do you know how bread can help play an important role in this
too? All bread contains protein, complex carbohydrates, calcium,
iron and B vitamins. Bread is a major source of fibre in our diet,
and is low in fat and sugar.
B-Vitamins
These play an essential role in the way our bodies breakdown
food and release energy. There are many different kinds of B
vitamins and you'll find several of them in bread, in particular
Thiamin (vitamin B1) and Niacin (vitamin
B3).
Minerals
As essential nutrients, these are needed in tiny amounts and
have many roles within the body. Minerals such as calcium and iron
can be found in varying amounts in a variety of foods. Bread
provides a significant amount of our daily intake of calcium and
iron, with calcium being good for teeth and bones, and iron for
helping the blood transport oxygen around the body.
Fibre
This is provided by the outer protective layer of the wheat
grain and plays an invaluable role in the healthy and efficient
digestion of food. Although there is a higher proportion of fibre
in whole grain breads, white bread also contains fibre which helps
play an important role in our digestive system.
