Top ten benefits of bread

Calcium
White bread is fortified with calcium
and four medium slices per day would
provide over 30% of the
recommended daily intake of calcium
which we need every day to maintain
healthy bones and teeth.
Fibre
Bread, especially wholemeal, is an
important source of dietary fibre which
helps to keep our digestive system
healthy, helps control blood sugar and
cholesterol levels and makes us feel
fuller for longer.
Protein
Bread is a low fat source of protein
which is required by our bodies for
growth, renewal and repair.
Iron
White bread is fortified with iron. Iron
is important for energy and
concentration, a healthy immune
system and healthy blood.
Energy
Bread is relatively low in calories. An
average medium slice of white bread
contains 77 calories, brown contains
72 calories and wholemeal contains
79 calories.
Sugar
Most breads are low in sugar which is
important for healthy teeth and
maintaining a healthy weight.
Fat
Bread is a low fat food. An average
medium slice of white bread contains
0.6g of fat, brown bread contains 0.7g
and wholemeal contains 0.9g. Just be
careful with what you put on it and
stick to healthy options for spreads
and toppings.
Here are 10 fun facts about bread through the ages!
1.     The ancient Greeks were already producing more than 80 types of
bread in 2500 B.C.
2.     Bread was so important to the Egyptian way of life that it was used as a
type of currency. They revered it so much they would often place it in the
tombs of their dead.
3.     Bakers were powerful credit brokers during the Middle Ages in France.
They often loaned out bread as currency and as a form of credit. King Louis
IV said, “He who controls a nation’s bread is a greater ruler than he who
controls their souls.”
4.     Napoleon gave a common bread its name when he demanded a loaf of
dark rye bread for his horse during the Prussian campaign. “Pain pour
Nicole,” he ordered, which meant “Bread for Nicole,” his horse. To Germanic
ears, the request sounded like “Pumpernickel,” which is the term we use
today for this traditional loaf.
5.     In Britain, the ceremony of First Footing is traditionally observed in the
early hours of New Year’s Day. A piece of bread is left outside a door, with a
piece of coal and a silver coin, and is supposed to bring you food, warmth
and riches in the year ahead.
6.     Bakers used to be fined if their loaves were underweight so they added
an extra loaf to every dozen, hence the term “Baker’s Dozen.”
7.     Scandinavian traditions hold that if a boy and girl eat from the same
loaf, they are bound to fall in love.
8.     Superstition says it is bad luck to turn a loaf of bread upside down or cut
an unbaked loaf.
9.     Assuming a sandwich was eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it
would take 168 days to eat the amount of bread produced from one bushel of
wheat. A family of four could live 10 years off the bread produced by one
acre of wheat.
10.  The inner part of the bread incased in the crust is called the “crumb”
hence why small bits of this part of the bread are called “crumbs.”
