Advantages: Tastes good, looks healthy and brown

Disadvantages: Not so good for toasted sandwiches

We're constantly being told that we should be eating more of this, less of that. Less, in this case, being white bread. More being wholegrain.

Boring

Then I discovered (through my bloke) Hovis Seed Sensations

I like the orange wrapped one - Light & Nutty (kinda like me!)

The bread is based on a brown loaf, and has lots of seeds thrown in to give it extra taste and texture. Well, that's how'd I'd describe it anyhow. But of course, being Hovis the brown part is actually pretty nice. When it's fresh, the bread is light and fluffy, with the seeds adding some interesting harder bits that awakens the tongue

For those with allergies, here is the list of seeds this loaf includes:
sunflower seeds, millet seeds, brown linseed, poppy seeds, golden linseed and gold linseed.

The nutritional values are:
113cal per slice. 19.2g of carbs per slice. 2.1g of fat per slice. 2.3g of fibre per slice.

It's a great bread for a nice sandwich. Not bad for toast. But leave it alone if you fancy a toasted sandwich - white bread has it's crown for that still.

It keeps as well as any other loaf of bread (I find about 5 days is pushing it, but has have the air squeezed out and the bag secured tightly) and althought my bloke swears by refridgeration as a tool to make bread last longer, for this type of bread, I find it makes it go hard - and that's not good

All in all, this is the bread of choice for me. I feel I'm making a better choice for my (temple) body, while not compromising on taste

Summary: A healthier choice with more taste
