Why we recommend it

This is bread made by bakers rather than by a food technologist, and it shows: more than thirty hours of fermentation, a proper crust, and a great crumb. It is the item on this list most likely to be mistaken for ordinary bread by someone who has not been told.

We have it in Medium rather than Low.. At 5.7g a slice it is roughly 40% down on standard white rather than the fraction you get from the engineered low carb loaves elsewhere.

The bread toasted well, was crunchy with a nice chew and was not obviously very low carb bread.

Nothing gets on this list because a brand asked. We try everything ourselves. And only recommend things we'd feed to our families.

The carb bands are ours. Zero is under a gram a serving, Low under five, Medium under ten. Where a product's own marketing and its nutrition panel disagree, the panel wins and we say so on the page.

Only carbohydrates become glucose. Protein becomes amino acids and fat becomes fatty acids, which is why a fatty snack with two grams of carbohydrate does very little to your glucose and a fat-free one with twenty does rather a lot.
