As a diabetic I have been unable to eat pasta for years so was delighted to see this lower carbohydrate version. They’re a great source of lignans – plant phenols associated with a lowered risk of heart disease, menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis. The starter is a mix of flour and water, which is fermented by wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria which give the sourdough its rise.

I have focused on serving sizes rather than just nutritional information per 100g as with slices of bread we tend to eat 2 smaller loaf slices or 1 larger loaf slice. McCambridge bread is available in Ireland (SuperValu), so this makes for the best choice for our Irish ladies that can’t get hold of the other bread mentioned above. Where the loaf is a smaller size, 2 slices have been calculated and per individual item for flatbread or sandwich thins.This means that the white flour bread will convert to glucose much faster than the whole-wheat, wholemeal, or wholegrain bread. That said, most of the higher protein ranges that have been launched are higher in carbs than some of the better alternatives available, therefore compare the carbs to check that the higher protein is being substituted for more carbs. Wraps not only make for good sandwiches but also make a great base for our GD Friendly Pizza, like a bread substitute for eating with meals such as curries and for burritos and fajitas. I have already tried the penne version of this low carbohydrate pasta and found the texture a little hard and rubbery so this time I tried soaking this one in warm salted water for half an hour prior to cooking it to hopefully soften it more.

If you really want to make a success of low carb I'd heartily suggest avoiding "low carb" substitues and instead just eat single ingredient foods cooked fresh. This bread is what we often advocate to our members as it is a great GD suitable bread that is widely available to purchase.This process lowers the levels of phytic acid, which makes digesting the bread and the gut’s absorption of minerals, such as iron and calcium, much easier. Like pumpernickel, rye bread is rich in lignans, plant compounds linked with a wide range of health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and breast cancer. They are sorted by carbohydrate amount, but it is important to also take into account the protein, fat and fibre content too. At just under 6g of carbs per serving, the Low Carb® Pasta is a delicious, healthier, and sugar free alternative to regular pasta.
