Best Bread / Wrap / Pita

Hi,

I have been trying to research this for quite a while...

What is the best (healthiest) Bread / Wrap / Pita Bread to eat.

For example, say i want to put a chicken breast and salad into one of the above... what would be the best to choose out of the above...

To take this one step further, considering this is an Irish forum, it would be good to discuss Brands also as most of the research i have done seems to be of American foods which are not available here Ireland, thanks in advance

Mostly bad really. Mc Cambridge would be ok. Brown bread you make yourself, anything white is a junk food which should be avoided, you are ruining your healthy chicken salad. Just full of bad flour treatment agent, little nutrition for calories. But if you have to, brown soda bread that you make yourself with whole meal flour.

Good post.

I have been curious about this since i gave up having a baguette at lunch and swapping to a wrap instead. Although there is alot less in a wrap, I reckoned overall it wasn't alot better than the baguette.

Is it possible to purchase wholemeal wraps anywhere?

If I do eat bread I choose Johnston Mooney and O Brien wholegrain, it's the half pan size brown packet. Either that or Dunnes own pitta breads due to their short ingredient list, wholemeal wheatflour, water, salt and yeast.

Thanks for all of the replies.... i have been eating Tesco Finest High Fibre Seeded Bread. It's €4 for a small pan of it but i can't find anything else that matches it's nutrients / ingredients...

I was looking for wholemeal wraps but i can't seem to find them anywhere either...

Anyone else have any other inputs / views on this topic, thanks in advance

Lidl and Aldi both do a good dense rye bread, its nice enough but definitely doesnt have the allure of the fluffy breads for sure. But its cheap, good and worth a try

So, if you are making your own bread, are there better types/brands of flour to be buying?
For instance, I make a brown bread with an Odl*ms Hearts Delight wheatmeal flour...is this fulled of hidden additives in the way a loaf of say Br*nnans would be?
Or I make a yeast white loaf with All*sons Bakersgrade white flour, is this healthier than eating a shop bought loaf, or am I using flour that has the same sh*te added to it?
Am I going to a load of effort just to be eating the same wrong stuff that I could buy in T*scos in a fraction of the time it takes to make the bread?

You can get stoneground spelt flour with seeds in it(or just use any other flour you want) - just add milk/water/milk alternative to it and put in the oven - 45min tops and you have something that's a bit better than most packaged breads.

Ryvita would be a little bit above most breads and maybe oatcakes as another option?

the Alternative Bread Company (ABC) are stocked in Dunnes now, they are great, I love the spelt soda with seeds. I slice it up and freeze it in 2 slice portions.

In the words of Gerry Adams in the health supplement of today's examiner...."the whiter the bread, the quicker you're dead"!!! Love it!!
