My review is for the Hovis Seed Sensations-Rick & Roasted variety, which is the one in the purple wrapper. I am not a massive lover of bread and tend to have pitta if I fancy bread, or most often I have salads for my packed lunches. This week I decided to revert back to sandwiches and couldn't resist the rather luxury purchase of Hovis seed sensation , which I think really is sensational. At around £1.50 for the big loaf I think it is quite expensive, but it depends what you want, I love granary bread in general but this really is better than sliced bread. It is jam packed with seeds, some of which are really big and quite chewy. Even better is ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive fan of granary and seeded bread, and I really like the Hovis versions. There are a few types of seed sensations, my favourite is the rich one which has a purple packet and it's covered in sunflower seeds and various other ones (I'm not sure what they all are), and it's very tasty. A loaf of seed sensation usually costs about £1.60, it is sometimes on offer, but I think it's actually quite expensive considering sainsburys do their own seeded granary loaf for £1.00 The seed sensation is a lovely bread, it toasts extremely well, I find that toasted it goes very crunchy (which I like, others might not), other granary breads tend to have a ...  Read the complete review

This bread is the holy grail of toast making. I have struggled long and hard to find the perfect bread for toast. One that doesn't go too dry and crunchy, or soggy and flacid. One that has great flavours and textures......AND NOW I'VE FOUND IT! Firstly, the seed sensations bread I like it the 'rich and roasted' variety. It comes in a bag identical to the one above, but its purple not orange. The cost varies from supermarket to supermarket, but expect to pay around £1.50 for it. Its not exactly cheap, but its worth it for the quality of this bread. When you take this bread out of the packet, you can tell it contains "over 25,000 delicious ...  Read the complete review

When I hear the name Hovis I immediately think of freshly baked delicious bread, it just has that effect on me and although I do change my breads from time to time I regularly return to Hovis. Recently I have been eating Hovis seed sensation loafs, the one in Dooyoos picture is actually the light and nutty one but my preference is for the rich and roasted one that comes in purple wrapping. The rich and roasted loaf claims to have eight varieties of seeds including over 8000 poppy seeds per loaf, I don't know who's job it was to count this but I can think of better things to be doing with my time and I am sure they can tell us anything for I for one ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
