Read on to find out more about why this hardworking bread is a family favourite.

How is the high fibre low GI bread from Bakers Delight healthy?

Our Bakers Delight Hi-Fibre Lo-GI White Block Loaf is made with real ingredients, is low-GI, and has more than double the fibre of a standard white loaf. It means every slice isn’t just good for you and your digestion, but also tastes just as delicious for your sandwiches, toasties and other bread-based recipes. 

What is low GI and why does it matter?

Low GI, meaning foods that digest slowly, allow a slow, gradual rise in blood sugar, giving you longer lasting energy. So, what is low-GI bread? While white bread is delicious and definitely has its place in the pantry, your run-of-the-mill standard white bread can leave you feeling a little sluggish. Whereas low-GI bread is digested slower, making you feel fuller for longer with more stable energy throughout the day. 

What are the benefits of high fibre bread?

When added to white bread, fibre provides a range of benefits, including giving you long-lasting energy, better digestion and making you feel fuller for longer. People with diabetes often look for high fibre in bread as it doesn’t spike blood sugar, and it’s considered the best bread to eat if you’re on a weight loss journey, as you won’t find yourself snacking throughout the day as you’ll be nice and full.
