Answer 1

wheat

Answer 2

yes its a ton better for you

Answer 3

Yes,  wheat is better for you than white.

Answer 4

wheat at all, with no dyes and unnatural products, is good for you and is all around better. :)

Answer 5

Yes and no...

What we traditionally know as whole wheat bread isn't all that nutritious unless it states that it's a whole GRAIN bread.

Whole wheat flour still goes through a refining process that removes some of it's nutritional value and whole grain doesn't.

Additionally, most whole wheat bread still has some bleached white flour in it and if the label says "enriched bread" don't think that that's better for you either. When you see the term "enriched" on a package it means that the manufacturer had to put nutrients back into the product that the refining process removed...nutrients that would have still been there naturally had they used whole grain flour in the first place.  

Answer 6

Hello,

When I buy my bread, I always look on the label for whole wheat flour, not enriched wheat flour. To me,  the regular wheat is the same as the white. The regular wheat is darkened with colorants. Just look at the ingredients in the crackers and see what they are made of. You can buy whole grain crackers and they are really good! I hope this helps answer your question!

Answer 12

It depends on the ingredients of the wheat bread. Like you said, 100% whole wheat is best. Many store bought wheat breads are 1) not 100% whole wheat and still contained enriched processed flour and 2) contain high fructose corn syrup.

Check the ingredients and avoid breads that have HFCS and enriched flour, if you are interested in getting more health out of your bread.

As for the crackers, the same is true, though I haven't really come across or looked for 100% whole wheat crackers.

Have you considered making your own bread? I'm learning that now.
