Kingsmill 50/50 Bread

Kingsmill 50/50 Bread Description: Manufacturer: Kingsmill / Type: Bread If you haven't heard of his bread before, it contains 50% wholemeal flour, which in theory, should make it 50% healthier than white bread! Mrs Assasin is trying to make us convert to brown bread, which she loves. Unfortunately, I am a bit of a white bread fan, so we compromised and tried this loaf, which we bought from our local Morrisons. An 800g loaf cost us £1.40. The bread comes in a yellow and purple wrapper with the Kingsmills logo and 5050 on the front so is quite easy to recognise. I didn't actually realise that this bread contains half your ...  Read the complete review

As a family, we go through several loaves of bread every week, but like most families, we all have different tastes and preferences. My husband and I both love fresh granary or seed topped wholemeal breads and although the children like the taste of these breads, they often complain about the "bits" and are reluctant to eat such products. Because I would prefer them to eat wholemeal bread, I decided to compromise and I bought a Kingsmill 50/50 loaf, as this looks like an ordinary white loaf but claims to contain the goodness of brown. I purchased a medium sliced 800g Kingsmill 50/50 loaf from Asda, priced individually at £1.30 or you could buy two ...  Read the complete review

Being back on my diet again, more so for lunch thesedays I am taking a sandwich to work. I like sandwiches, but I would probably have a burger if I had the choice. Nevermind, when I lose all this weight, then I could perhaps have the odd burger (When, is what i'm asking!) My favourite bread in the world is White Warburtons, the 1 with the blue wrapper. Although I am allowed bread, I try to make sure it is around the 100 calories per slice mark, and although Warburtons is 94 calories, it is quite pricy at £1.40 per loaf. I've seen Kingsmill 50/50 in the shops for ages, and that is also normally priced at £1.40, Asda is selling this for £1 per 800g ...  Read the complete review

Now normally, i must admit i do have a definate preference for baked instore bread over this type of pre-packaged bread. This being said, sometimes you just fancy the simplicity of a few pieces of ready sliced bread toasted, yum. Being pre-sliced does mean that i don't end up with the aftermath of bread crumb mess that results when i slice my own, it really is that bad. Anyway, when such occasions arise when i fancy a bit of sliced bread, or the bakery stuff is unavailble, this 50/50 loaf by kingsmill is my number one choice. Its slightly different to your standard loaf of sliced bread, containing a combination of 50% white flour and 50% whole grain. The idea ...  Read the complete review

More often than not we buy our bread from Gregg's or the local bakers shop and we usually have a Bloomer or a large Farmhouse. But a friend of mine has been singing the praises of this Kingsmill 50/50 loaf so I decided to give it a trial run. Kingsmill are a well respected manufacturer of bread, muffins, pancakes and rolls so I had no reservations about buying the bread for the first time. I have had a redundant bread-maker sitting on my kitchen worktop for a very long time now, I suppose like many kitchen gadgets it was a novelty. In all honesty I am not overly keen on bread that has been cooked in it, so maybe I should consider donating it to someone ...  Read the complete review
