Hello! can someone please tell me what's Burgen S&L? :confused:
Thanks in advance

It's a type of bread - Burgen Soya and Linseed 🙂 It's available in most supermarkets, sometimes in the specialist breads section 🙂 It's low GI and less carbs than most bread due to the inclusion of soya flour replacing some of the ordinary flour. It's very tasty and keeps well! 🙂
