Burgen Soya / Linseed Bread

[downsince84]

I have seen this bread in my local supermaket "Burgen Soya / Linseed Bread" says low Gi do anybody know the GL load.

I don't have the Glycaemic index rating of this Bread to hand.

However if you do, all you need to do to find the Glycaemic Load of ANY food is to take the GI value,
x number of grams carbs per serving then divide by 100 = Glycaemic Load.

OK just found a Gi reading is 36 so 36 x 11.9 / 100 = 1 slice 4.284 GL's

That's pretty low 8)

Any use?

Eat and enjoy downsince84, this is the only bread I can eat and tolerate with regards to bg's, it is also a good source of dietary fibre. I enjoy my Burgen toasted with marmite spread over, and is especially nice with a boiled egg!

It does go very well with Marmite and Marmite is low cal and fat. A winning combination. Off topic I know but I can't wait to try the new xo marmite!

Me too Dippy, but my wife says that it is £3.99 a jar! :shock: I think that I'll have to wait for the next lottery win!

Well, I won £10 on Saturday night, so I'm going to lash out on one. I know, it's just spend, spend, spend!
I shall report back!

That's strange. I also won £10 last Saturday, and the Saturday before that!

As it is a rollover this week, I am going to chance my luck and try and win the jackpot, but I am sure I'd be better off with a jar of marmite! :roll:

Burgen is my saviour :lol: I eat two slices every day as a sandwich and never have high BG afterwards , pity its so expensive although some of the larger supermarkets have it on offer for £1 per loaf at times

 

[downsince84]

If you have a Iceland store nearby, you'll be glad to hear that they sell 2 loafs of Burgen for £2. I always stock up when I pass by and buy 6 loafs at a time. Its the best buy as far as I'm concerned!

Iceland it is then.... !

I may get my hands on that elusive xo tonight IF Sainsburys havn't gone and sold it all...!

 

[Grazer]

I've just bought a loaf of this from Sainsburys. VERY low GI, and low carb per slice, but really tasty!

It's still two loafs for £2 in Iceland.
