Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 We make a banana bread from King Arthur ground wheat kernels. You don't need white flour. It does require some baking soda - not much. Bread can also be made with yeast and no salt. You're right, there's no such thing on the market as whole grain bread. Seems they must add white flour or gluten.

Which is best appears to depend on which nutrients you happen to be short of, because each has more of various nutrients than the other. Both have the high salt content. (I realize, of course, that that is not the conventional wisdom.) And, of course, whole grain breads are more than 80% white flour anyway. So if you don't approve of white flour, why eat so much of it in whole grain bread?What would be interesting to see is epidemiological evidence of the health of people who eat a lot of germ and bran and no white flour. If it showed they were demonstrably healthier it would be enough to change my behaviour.As for the beef broth, it is not a regular component of my diet, I bought it because of a recipe that requires it and seemed worthwhile trying. I had not anticipated the huge salt content. It would be better to buy some beef and make a salt-free stock from it.Rodney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
