Good points Evita. I suppose it all depends on what you are used to. When I was younger my tastes weren’t very advanced and I preferred blander, sugary processed foods such as white bread. After a few years of having white bread I got used to the taste. When I tried something different in the form of brown bread my taste buds were not used to it and I did not enjoy it. After a week or so of forcing myself to eat brown bread I actually started to like it. Now I’m the exact opposite. I prefer the taste and texture of wholemeal bread and when I eat white bread I don’t really enjoy it that much.

Your point on sodium is a very good one. In fact it is wise to check all the ingredients. Some wholemeal breads contain very little wholemeal flour at all and some of the cheaper brands you mention are full of chemicals. Thanks for all your comments.

Hi Tom,

I have always heard and still hear people talk about not liking the taste or texture of whole grain (wholemeal) alternatives and I am honestly always surprised because I did not ever even consider that.

Mind you I have a long time ago tried the equivalent of spongy white bread in the spongy brown bread version and it was disgusting. But that is not a good alternative either.

So for me the switch was easy and to tell you the truth today I look at white counterparts like a vampire would look at a cross

One more thing for people to remember would be to remember to check the sodium levels on all of these products as they still are processed and there are better and worse brands that make each one.
