Product Information

Bread is a staple food, important for providing nutrients for everyday functioning. Over the hundreds of years of bread making, consumers palates have adapted to a more refined bread, that lacks coarseness but is preferred for taste. Alpine Breads understand that taste is important, but as importantly is the delivery of ideal nutrients that bread has the capability of providing.

Alpine Breads Lower Carb Plain bread is unique in the fact that it provides the smooth textural sensation, but does not compromise on nutritional quality. Lower in carbohydrate means that this bread, which is 81% lower compared to the original Alpine Breads Wholemeal Bread, has a lower content but still delivers carbohydrate, which is important for cellular energy. Carbohydrate is our bodies fuel and a primary requirement for muscles, brain and other organs to function. The amount of carbohydrate per serve in the lower carb bread is 6.2g, compared to 30.9g in the original wholemeal bread. Having a lower carbohydrate content is suitable for individuals managing their blood glucose levels, individuals not requiring as much carbohydrate for energy expenditure through exercise and those looking for opportunities to reduce their carbohydrate intake as a lifestyle choice.

In line with low carbohydrate, Alpine Breads Lower Carb Plain is also low in sugar. For every 2 slices, there is only 0.9g of sugar.

Being a food that is made from wholegrains, there is no need for bread to be a high sugar product. Another nutrient that stacks up well in this bread is protein.

Protein is satiating, meaning it helps keep us satisfied. Therefore, each slice of this bread will satisfy cravings and hunger, which supports controlling your appetite.
