Wholegrain Similar to wholemeal, but often has whole pieces of grain. Multigrain Made from white flour with added grains to provide some texture and flavour. The fibre content is lower than wholemeal but higher than white bread. Some brands of multigrain bread have more fibre than others. Usually white loaves made with special flour or added legume husks to increase the fibre beyond that found in regular white bread.
Different brands vary in the fibre content.
White The standard bread, containing as much starch as any other kind of bread and retaining some fibre plus plenty of vitamins. Australian white bread is a good food. Rye Usually made from a mixture of wheat and rye flours, the nutritional value varies but is generally midway between that of white and wholegrain. Flat breads made from white or wholemeal flour. Useful for holding sandwich fillings because the pocket holds the filling in.
