About Bread, cracked-wheat
This hearty loaf features whole grains that have been cracked to create a rustic, textured bread. The cracking process exposes more surface area of the wheat, resulting in a slightly nuttier flavor and denser texture compared to refined white bread. Each slice delivers a satisfying chew and visible flecks of wheat throughout the crumb.
Nutritionally, this bread offers several advantages over its refined counterparts. The intact wheat kernels retain their bran and germ, providing approximately 5.5g of fiber per 100g serving. This fiber content supports digestive health and promotes feelings of fullness. The protein content of 8.7g per 100g makes it a good option for those seeking plant-based protein sources. The complex carbohydrates are digested more slowly than refined grains, potentially helping to maintain steadier blood sugar levels. With only 3.9g of fat per 100g, it's naturally low in fat while still delivering 260 calories for sustained energy.
This versatile bread works beautifully in both sweet and savory applications. Its sturdy texture makes it ideal for hearty sandwiches, particularly those with robust fillings like aged cheeses, cured meats, or roasted vegetables. The nutty flavor complements breakfast preparations, whether toasted with jam or used for French toast. It also serves as an excellent base for open-faced tartines and can be cubed for croutons or used in stuffing. Many people appreciate it as a satisfying snack simply toasted and topped with avocado or nut butter.
