Benefits of multigrain bread?

So what are the benefits of wholemeal vs wholegrain?

[Phteven]

Wholegrain means that it contains the husk and germ and endo-thingummy. It's better for you because it has more fibre so it helps your colon. Also high fibre helps reduce bad fat so it's good for your heart.

Wholegrain is low GI. White and wholemeal are high GI foods.

Here is a bit of info on GI ratings:

bit OT..but how yum is the Abbot's bread! I bought two loaves when they were 2 for $6 or something because it worked out cheaper than buying any of the other loaves of bread. It was so nice though will be buying it whenever it's on special! I like the one with the sesame seeds on top, but it must be popular because they are rarely still on the shelf!

Helga's makes a wholemeal, multigrain bread - best of both worlds.

Sandwich bread freezes ok so if you buy a few loaves when it's on special you can eat one and chuck the spares in the freezer.

Yep we buy and freeze
Abbott's Bakery make a 'Grainy Wholemeal', but I'm a regular wholemeal kind of woman.
