Rudi's Organic Multigrain Oat Bread
This review was done by Lizabeth Burnett. Liz has a passion for cooking healthy foods which started out of a desire to lose weight. "Not wanting to turn to a cabbage soup and bean sprout diet, I started shopping and cooking more mindfully which helped me lose 50 pounds over the last three years. Aside from cooking, I'm currently studying to become a dental assistant and I work at the local library."
Now, allow me to start with stating that this is not a 100% whole grain loaf. The first ingredient is organic unbleached wheat flour, i.e. "fancy white flour". However, organic whole wheat flour is the third ingredient, so you do still enjoy some whole-wheat goodness. The good news is, if you're not fond of an overly wheat flavor, this bread is perfect for you. This bread really tastes like ... bread. There's nothing overly sweet, the grain flavors are detectable, but not overwhelming, and the texture is pleasantly hearty. It's not tough, but chewy (along the lines of a sourdough). This bread is also great for sandwiches because it does not become smashed under the weight of your sandwich fillings. One slice of Rudi's Organic Multigrain Oat Bread contains 110 calories, 1 gram of total fat, no saturated fat, low sodium (180 milligrams), 4 grams of protein and 21 grams of carbohydrates which includes 2 grams of fiber (8% of the RDA) and 2 grams of sugar. Although there are breads with fewer calories, I think the calorie caount of this bread is reasonable considering the size of each slice, although I would have like to see more fiber in a multigrain bread. Everything in the loaf is organic. Clearly whoever is in charge of Rudi's labeling wanted this fact drilled into your skull, as the word "organic" preceeds every single ingredient. One loaf will run you about $2.70, which, for an organic bread, is quite decent. Comments
