I brought a loaf of this as many of you seem to use it and find that it does not spike you I do like my toast in the morning. have tryed one bit with some spread and it does taste rather yummy
 
it is yummy ain't it, regardless of the carb side of things! Sainsburys seemed to be doing a loaf for a quid for quite a while a while back, not sure now, bread costs the earth so I don't munch too much!
 
Bought my first loaf earlier this week for a quid 🙂

yum!
 
Waitrose had it for a quid a loaf so I bought two. Have one in the freezer and just finishing the other today. It is nice bread and stays quite fresh too 🙂
 
Yes, I quite liked it too. But it isn't a patch on my seeded granary loaf. But then, I'm biased. 🙂
 
Mmm, burgen bread is definitely nice 🙂

The whole earth peanut butter that was recommended here a while back goes very nicely with burgen toast!
 
you should try peanut butter on a thick slice of cheddar, very nice 🙂
 
I'm completely in a Burgen phase at the mo. Have been for a few months.

My daughter is completely converted too 🙂
 
I prefer Burden to Vocal its yumm
 
Been enjoying Burgen Bread for 2 years now and eat no other, as it's low gi and only 11.9g of carbs per slice it keeps my blood glucose steady without the spikes associated with normal bread. Good to hear you can tolerate Burgen too Gail.🙂
 
had burgen toast for brekie this morning that was rather yummy
 
How long will Burgen stay fresh for? I remember someone telling me that it will stay fresh much longer then white bread.

It can take up to a week for a loaf of white to get used, and by that point its starting to get a little dry (we store it in the fridge).

Currently we are storing my burgen in the freezer and de thawing a few slices each time - but that's a little wasteful on freezer bags for my tastes.

I've just finished a loaf that seemed to stay nicely fresh for a week - better than most other types I've had. 🙂
 
Mine seems to keep fresh for a week whilst kept in the bread bin and in its original packaging, I mainly toast my Burgen so don't really mind if it did go dry.
