The smell of freshly baked bread fills the house ...

Wish you could enjoy all the aromas that come with baking bread, and getting it hot out of the oven; but a close second is hearty loaf itself. It is real food. When you taste it you know how different it is. Enjoy some today.

Dietary recommendations for whole grain


I personally like taste of whole grain bread, so I can eat it all day long. But how much is enough for maintaining a healthy diet. The US Dietary Guidance recommends different amount of whole grains daily according to your age and sex.

For children: age 2-3 — 1.5-3 servings; age 4-13 — 2-4 servings.
For women: age 14 to 50 — 3-6 servings; 50 + — 3-5 servings.
For men: age 14 to 50 — 3.5-7 servings; 50+ — 3-6 servings.

But what counts as a serving? In 100% whole grain products as 7 Grain offers to you that would be:
1 slice of 7 Grain, Rye or Sprouted bread
1/2 of 7 Grain sandwich flat
1/2 of a cinnamon bun
1 muffin
1 pack of biscotti
1 cup ready-to-eat homemade granola (there are 3 cups in our granola packs)
1/2 cup cooked homemade pasta or 1 ounce dry pasta (there are 6 ounces in our pasta packs)
1/4 of 8” pizza crust or 1/6 of 12” crust
1/2 of focaccia

You see how easy it is to start eating right at every meal with 7 Grain? Health experts agree that every bit of whole grain you eat contribute to your good health. So if you are never before ate the whole grain bread, you can start with as small as 1 serving a day and look for opportunities to get a little more here and there. After a while you will fall in love with the taste of whole grains and will be surprised that some of you old tie favorites may taste strangely bland and unappealing!
