Lidl low GI bread

[grovesy]

I did not think any Lidl or Aldi had big stores.

Some of the stores are a bit bigger than others. If you go on the Lidl website it shows which of the stores do 'baked products throughout the day' as not all of them do.

i love sourdough, and the proper chewy stuff from a specialist bakery doesn't have too bad an effect on my blood sugars, in the way of spikes, I mean. A lot of supermarket sourdough isn't that different from normal white bread though, and no difference blood sugar wise.

Ah yes, apparently my store is a Limited Range store, so they don't have them . Rats.

I used to get a nice loaf from our small Sainsburys, which I alternated with Burgen, but then they stopped producing it...😱. You can't win.

Crispy newly baked white still just warm with salted dripping fat - no jelly. My childhood treat!

 

[pottersusan]

ooh! can I have your jelly please🙂

Since I couldn't get any low GI bread from Lidl, I bought two breads from Waitrose when we went shopping: Waitrose Seeded Sourdough, which although it has 21.9 carbs per slice, the slices are quite big. I had one slice with humus & cucumber slices, and a cuppa tea. Reading before was 4.6; 2 hrs later it was 7.1. So some rise, but not as much as I feared.

The other bread was Schneider Brot's Veggie-Rye vegan bread, which was 9.7 per slice. I had two slices with humus & cucumber plus cuppa tea. Reading before was 6.4 (oddly high for me pre-lunch, but there you go); 2 hrs later it was 6.7, and another hour later it was 5.6. So that was pretty good! I preferred the taste of the sourdough, but the vegan bread was very filling. At least I can alternate them with Burgen, of which I was getting a bit fed up....

Yes, variety is the spice of life. I think I'm much less likely to fall of the wagon (I have a foot on several 😱) if I have variety in my diet.

I never really go to Waitrose, but I might check those breads out. There's nothing in any of the other supermarkets apart from Burgen, which I like but it's nice to have a change.

Excuse me, I just created an account to have a look at that OP you upload. Where did you get that from if you don't mind me asking?

I find the M&S honey spelt sunflower seed bread, it doesn't cause much of a spike, and they're small slices about 12g of carb per average slice. It's pretty expensive being M&S of course, but it freezes well so not too bad in a household with low bread consumption!

My local Llidl does the protein rolls and the low GI bread but I haven't managed to get the low GI loaf yet because they only bake in the morning and I can't get there till lunch usually

I must admit while having to consume 'free from' foods I do wonder why I have to pay more to get less 😛

As someone who works in food manufacturing, and knows the massive hoops we have to jump through to make gluten free products, I can understand the price differential. Certified Gluten free ingredients are more expensive to start with, production lines have to be more thoroughly cleaned between gluten free and non gluten free production (and time is money!), end product testing has a significant cost... It all adds up.

I've tried sourdough and it spiked me.

 

[SB2015]

The high protein rolls are excellent. I haven't tried the bread yet.
I shall look out for that when my roll stock drops. They are cut in half and in the freezer.
Ideal and no spike.

Would they maybe keep one for you?

Great minds think alike Carolg they're putting one aside for me on Friday, I batted my eyelashes at the manager shamelessly and he giggled and promised to keep one for me. I'm quite ashamed of my brazen flirting but it got the job done 😉

 

[Carolg]

If you got it,flaunt it. If I did that they would lock me up as an "aff the Heidi" oldie

It's there on Lidls page under the pic of the roll.

I bought a Vogel linseed and soya loaf from Waitrose today in the hope I like it better then Burgen.

Haven't seen that in the shops for a while now - hope you like it! 🙂
