Review of 'Weston's Première Fournée' Hearty Grains

Weston's Première Fournée -- Hearty Grains
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: This has a flavourful, nutty, thin crust with added oat flakes and sesame and sunflower seeds. The bread is soft and fresh with *no preservatives* (this is so rare). It has a beautiful neutral flavour that's punctuated by that awesome sunflower seed taste mmm. I'd definitely recommend switching over to this preservative-free bread.

Where to buy: Fortinos



Ingredients: unbleached wheat flour, water, sesame seeds, oats, millet, sunflower seeds, browns flax seeds, rye flour, honey, whole wheat flour, salt, cultured wheat starch, yeast, malted barley flour.

I'm so happy I was able to find a replacement for our former every-day bread, Rudolph's Multigrain Bread. I just recently realized that it has whey powder and a potentially harmful preservative (read the review here). This Weston's Première Fournée bread has great, clean ingredients and a really great nutritional profile. For a mere 150 calories, 2 slices will yield 5g of protein and is lot in fat. I am a bit bummed at the sodium content just because if I decide to make a deli sandwich, I know it'll add up really quickly.
