Cynical old me again....

Seems to be made from wheat so the claimed carbohydrate content seems to be quite remarkable. Is it an estimated level or a measured level? If the carb level is 9g/100g then what makes up the other 91g/100g?

Does not tell you where it is made - the website is a marketing operation run by people who make no claims as to their expertise in food.

Does not give you a physical address for their organisation, something which I think is a requirement for web selling companies in the UK.

At least it does not claim to be organic.

I though that too when I looked at the ingredients. I only tend to buy what I can get reasonable easy.

I think it contains wheat gluten not wheat. Equally it has oat fibre not oats. The bulk of the ingredients seem to be seeds.

I haven’t tried it and wouldn’t - mainly because it’s expensive.

I recognise the recipe for this.
It will be as low as they say and it will be a large loaf with very large slices and it will taste pretty good.

It is basically the "Best Keto Loaf Ever" recipe which can be found on the Keto King Youtube channel and which I've shared here in various places but this has had preservatives and palm oil and rapeseed oil added - presumably to reduce the tendency for this loaf to go mouldy if you keep it in a plastic bag. I keep my home made ones wrapped in cloth to avoid this.

The vital wheat gluten is the gluten part of the wheat which is almost 100% protein and has minimal carbs - the rest of the recipe is mostly fibres and the wheat flour references are to baking powder which contains traces of wheat which won't affect carb content but will affect people with a wheat allergy so they have to put it in heavy type and the flour conditioner - not sure what that is - might be another dose of vital wheat gluten which is what it is usually used for - sometimes producers mention the same ingredient twice if they use it for different purposes.

But yes - I would say this is bona fide and the values stack up. In a commercial environment they will be able to get the loaf to puff up more and so get more slices out of each loaf which reduces the carb per slice down. My recipe is 1.6g Carb per slice but I use different ingredients.

I personally wouldn't buy anything with rapeseed oil nor palm oil but that is down to personal choice.

Here's the youtube if anyone wants to make their own:

Thanks for that terrific analysis 🙂

Thanks for putting me straight on the recipe @NotWorriedAtAll. Sometimes being a bit extreme is a good way of teasing something out!

 

[Maca44]

I will let you know how I get on with it but delivery isn't until the 5th of Jan.

Thanks NotWorriedAtAll for that info, im excited now to try it.

Got my loaf today and love it.
It's about the same size as the Hovis Low carb bread but just look at the carbs per slice. It needs to be stored in the fridge but will keep for 5 days, also you can freeze it so I'm ordering more and the pre mixed pack for my bread maker. OK it's pricey but if your a bread lover, like me, a slice with dinner or a sandwich the carb content is amazing compared to other bread.

Have found many low-carb breads but nothing as low as this. I am wondering about how big the slices are, though - LivLife size or Burgen size?

This bread presumably is 23 gms. per slice compared to about 46 gms. Burgen, so the equivalent 46 grams of the Keto bread will use two slices but will only have 1.8 gms. Carbs but will cost £6 or £7 per loaf. Much lower in carbs but three times the cost of Burgen. Great if you want to pay that amount.

I have enough trouble getting Burgen sometimes in my Sainsbury's.

 

[Maca44]

I have started buying it in bulk and freezing it along with premix for bread maker so postage is the same, im more than happy paying extra if it means I can still enjoy a tasty bread but understand that many could not afford the extra costs.

It costs just over £3 per loaf but postage on top of that so buy in bulk and its not so bad.

 

[Iwillgetthere]

I made home made keto flaxseed bread yesterday and the carbs work out at just under 2g carbs per slice. However the slices are roughly the size of a matchbox!

Asda and Co-op are the most reliable for Burgen.

I agree with you Maca44, if you can afford it why not buy it. Thanks for posting details, I have joined you in loving this bread, it is so light and fluffy soft, and really tastes great. I bought 3 loaves and a couple of mixes for my bread machine,
I also bought some big burger buns, they are great just like the bread

Yes it's nice isn't it, not tried the roles yet.

I do not shop at at Asda, and my Coop stopped selling it a number of years ago.

My local Sainsburys always have a good stock of Burgen not sure why yours is in short supply perhaps worth asking them.
