[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 375505, member: 55568"] That's right about wholegrains but wholemeal doesn't necessarily mean wholegrain. It is supposed to contain all the parts of a wholegrain but many loaves described as wholemeal are a mixture of wholemeal and refined white. Some strong white flour is required to make the bread rise but in one instance, a loaf described as wholemeal contained only 6% wholemeal flour. 94% was white and then some dye was added. A typical wholegrain bread looks something like pumpernickel, where you can identify the whole grains, pick them out with a needle even. Such breads don't rise much at all. Mostly breads are a compromise and some are good, some not so good, but OK if yu don't have too much and others are like spooning sugar into a cup of tea. My favourite quote on this subject: [i]"For those, then, who are determined to eat bread made from authentic 100 per cent wholemeal … there is precious little alternative but to buy the flour and bake it themselves."[/i] A wholegrain of truth? Industrial loaf names, claims and contents, [url=http://www.sustainweb.org/publications/?id=266]http://www.sustainweb.org/publications/?id=266[/url] [/QUOTE]
