Healthy Bread

What brand is the healthiest whole grain bread? Other than ezikiel?

Ezekiel is by far the best.
but I think second place might be Dave's Killer Bread.
I have a Trader Joe's near me and I like their whole wheat bread a lot. It's one of the least expensive good breads out there .
You can select bread right in the bread aisle by looking at the label.
Look for whole grains. Anything in the 20s is good
Protein and fiber should be at least 3. and fat should be less than 3.
Sodium should be less than 300.
Sugar should be less than 5
Reduce those numbers by 25% for thin sliced bread.
And the smaller the list of ingredients the better.

The tastiest and healthiest bread should only be made with organic whole grain flours plus seeds/grains. No fat
and no sugar/low in salt.

we are lucky as in Canada we also have Silver Hills organic sprouted bread and although it is still expensive it is less than Ezekiel

The shocking truth about bread

Flour, yeast, water and salt - a traditional loaf needs only four ingredients. So why are calcium propionate, amylase, chlorine dioxide and L-cysteine hydrochloride now crammed into our daily bread? Andrew Whitely, Britain's leading organic baker, reveals how our staple foodstuff was transformed...

I'm on day 3 of sourdough starter using just flour and water. I was surprised how many recipes called for adding yeast to the initial starter, as I thought that was the whole point of sourdough? Wild yeast?

I made a very good bread with cooked oatmeal and whole wheat flour
