CONSTIPATION - 15 grain bread

[Guest guest]

Hi

As you are from US , so I wish you ask a question.

Lot of ayurveds , ask not to eat wheat products like bread etc.

In US , one can get 7,9,15 whole grain / multigrain breads , wheat breads etc. (not white flour breads)

I prefer 15 grain bread. Do these types of bread lead to poor disgestion and constipation?

Thanks

hi soutrik

 

many of these terms are just marketing

the truth is that most commercial breads are made with a highly

refined flour to which they add in small amounts of whole grains - so

its not really whole grain at all

furthermore, they add in lots of yeast and/or artificial leavening

agents to make the bread puffy and light, and preservatives to

maintain shelf life

 

a truly whole grain bread will be made with coarsely milled whole

grains and a sourdough starter

the result with be a crumbly, heavy bread - think of a door stop -

real German pumpernickel bread is an example of what i'm taking

about, but you can use other grains besides rye

this kind of bread is generally not so good for making sandwiches

because it lacks the sticky properties that enables it to maintain

its shape, i.e. it falls apart easily

 

ideally you want to mill the grains yourself fresh before you make

the bread

do this and you won't want to go back to eating the excuse for bread

the food industry would have you eat

 

"the greatest thing since sliced bread" they said... an adage that is

synonymous with everything that has gone wrong with our food supply

 

best....
