Which is the best bread?

Burgen Soy and Linseed Bread

WHAT MAKES BURGEN DIFFERENT?

Burgen's Soya and Linseed loaf is no ordinary wholemeal bread. It is packed with natural grains, such as wheat and linseed, and is rich in calcium and high in fibre. However, that, in itself, does not make it too much different from any other bread. What makes it really different is that it is a low-GI bread. GI or Glycaemic Index is a measure of how quickly our bodies absorb different carbohydrates. A low-GI bread is therefore one which sustains steady blood sugar levels to help you feel fuller for longer and provides a sustained supply of energy.
