Holsum Bread, Thunderbay, ON
I just received a sample of a new low-carb bread, made in Thunderbay, Ontario. Made by Shaw Bakery, and probably available in several supermarkets in Central Canada (please confirm if you find it locally).
Review:
----------
Label:
Holsum Light, Wheat
1 Slice:
40 Calories
2.1g protein
0.4g fat
5.1g carbs
2.5g fiber
Whole wheat flour, water, enriched white flour, pea fiber, sugar, canola oil, yeast, salt, soya flour, wheat gluten, sodium steroyl-2-lactylate, mono glycerides, calcium propionate, caramel colour, yeast nutrients (calcium solphate, ammonium chloride, calcium perxide).
Texture: Feels very light and spongy. I looks and feels like the usual bread.
Taste: Not bad at all. I still prefer my recipe, but will gladly use this one when I'm in a hurry (always). But the focus of this bread is NOT low-carbers. It's targeted to low-calorie, low-fat dieters. This really impacts the taste. Nevertheless, it IS low-carb, and if they were generous with the Oil and forgot about the calories, it could have been a much better tasting loaf of bread!
