There is a big difference between the packaged bread we get in the grocery store and bakery bread. Whole-grain bread is much better for us – and really helps to keep things moving. A recent study found whole-grain rye bread to be more effective than laxatives. Unfortunately, fresh baked bread is a lot easier to find in Europe than it is here. When you buy bread at a bakery or deli you can ask which ones have the most whole-grain – and it’s always tastier than packaged bread.
The denser the bread, the more whole grain in has – and crunchy breads are the best – they have bigger grain particles which really get things moving.
