Bread has such a special place in my heart, connecting me to cherished moments with my Nonna.

Welcome to another episode of the Easy Feed Podcast. Today, let’s talk about a much-loved food  – bread! 🍞 You know, if I had to choose three things for a stranded island, bread and butter would be at the top of my list. I bet many of you can relate.

Join me on this journey down memory lane as I recall shopping with my Nonna and savouring a freshly baked brioche baguette I can still taste. Bread has such a special place in my heart, connecting me to cherished moments with my Nonna. So, let's chat about bread, making better choices for our families, and helping our kids find that balance between loving bread and nourishing their bodies.

In this episode, we'll cover:

- The Bread Variety Explosion: Have you noticed how many types of bread are on the shelves these days? From bakery bread to supermarket varieties, it's overwhelming. We'll break down the choices and find the best fit for your family.

- Whole Grains vs. Refined Bread: Discover why whole grain bread is a nutritional powerhouse, offering fibre and slow-release carbohydrates. It's a game-changer for your family's health.

-  The Charm of Sourdough: Learn why sourdough is a top pick, naturally offering slower-release carbs and enhanced nutrient availability. We'll also explore how to spot an authentic sourdough.

- Wholemeal Bread Insights: Find out why wholemeal bread is high in fibre but releases sugar faster. Plus, we'll discuss the importance of choosing freshly baked over supermarket options.

- Cracking the Mystery of White Bread: Understand why white bread is high GI and what you can do to make it healthier. We'll discuss adding protein and fat to improve nutrition.

Remember, there's no judgement here. Whether your family loves whole grain or sticks to white bread, I’ll help you to make the best choices for your kids based on where your kids are at -  without the guilt. So, if you want to become a bread expert and discover simple tweaks to your family's bread choices, tune in now!
