What bread do you buy?  Brand and type and what should be the buzz words when looking at bread for my 5 and 3 year old.

It is funny that you asked this, because I just decided to start looking for a new bread for my family. I was previously buying 100% whole wheat HEB bread. Nutritionally, it has everything that a bread needs. Personally, it bothered me that the bread lasted so long. I am now looking for something with a little less preservatives in it. Our grocery store has a fresh bakery, so I have been trying out different varieties there. My husbands is picky about bread, so it usually takes a little while for us to find one we both like.

Labels on bread are VERY misleading. Most of the “buzz” words on bread is just marketing. The best thing to look for when bread shopping, in my opinion, is for at least 3 grams of fiber. Look at the food label for this information. The first ingredient listed should say whole grains as well. That is all you need to look for, those two simple things. Besides that, just find one that your family enjoys!
