Guide Review - Sara Lee Soft and Smooth 100 Percent Whole Wheat Bread

Many people grew up eating white bread and although you know you should eat whole grain bread, you may not have acquired a taste for it. Sara Lee know this and has developed a variety of breads that offer white bread taste with some whole grains. The latest addition to Sara Lee's line up is Soft and Smooth 100 Percent Whole Wheat Bread.

This bread is the first totally whole grain bread that feels and tastes just like white bread. I had the opportunity to sample a loaf of the new bread and I was very pleased with the texture and taste. My kids loved it too. They were very excited to be able to eat a whole wheat bread that didn't taste like whole wheat bread. They thought that the brown color was a bit weird because they were used to associating the taste and texture with white bread, but they got over that quickly.

I found that this bread worked perfectly for peanut butter sandwiches, french toast and chicken sandwiches for my kids. The bread holds up very well and is just like eating white bread.

Whole grain breads are important because they add fiber and great nutrition to your diet. Many people don't get enough fiber in their diets and one reason is because people tend to choose white bread that is refined and low in fiber. A bread like Sara Lee Soft and Smooth 100 Percent Whole Wheat Bread has the taste and the texture of white bread and the fiber of whole wheat bread.
