Review of Stickling's Bountiful Raisin Bread

Stickling's -- Bountiful Raisin Bread (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: I love that  they weren't stingy with the raisins -- they are spinkled throughout so that each bite has a juicy, sweetness. The bread is tender, soft, and the crust is thin and crisp. Even after refrigeration, the bread is nice and fresh when toasted. It has a really warm, hearty flavour that's really satisfying. I have this bare and it's so good that I don't want to ruin it by adding a spread. I do wish it had a wee bit more fiber, though.

Where to buy: Fortinos

Hey, no sugar added! That's pretty great. The raisins provide all the sweetness you'll ever need in this bread. These clean, wholesome ingredients translate to a good nutritional profile. At 100 calories per slice, it's low in saturated fat and low in sodium as well. It's too bad that it's not very rich in fiber and has only 3g of protein.
