Topic of the day – Bread and Butter
Real Bread is made with natural ingredients, proven over time to be a beneficial part of the human diet.
The majority of the bread that is produced in the UK is made in large factories using artificial additives and often large doses of salt and fat. High speed mixing, high levels of yeast and perhaps a lacing of enzymes are employed to force the dough to rise quickly, rather than allowing the bread to ferment and ripen in its own good time. These products may well then be sprayed with chemicals such as calcium propionate to prevent the growth of mould.
Expensive marketing may tempt us with ‘healthier’ factory loaves but these are usually not very different from standard lines, except you will probably be charged a premium for the privilege of a few further additions to the ingredients list.
Getting cheap bread and still being healthy is not an impossible thing any more. Check out this Voucher for Healthy Bread.
