Review of 'Golden Harvest' Plaitbread

Golden Harvest -- Plaitbread (vegan)
Overall Rating: 2.5/5
Summary: hmm, it has a rubbery/chewy texture and it is mild in flavour...the latter I enjoyed. I like that it's dense and filling, though I can't get over the nutritional profile (0g of fiber!) or the preservative (calcium propionate) so I'm not recommending this product.

Where to buy: Caribbean countries (e.g. Guyana)



Ingredients: wheat flour, water, sugar, vegetable margarine, vegetable shortening, salt, yeast
Preservative: calcium propionate
Emulsifier: lecithin
Flour Treatment Agent: L. Ascorbic Acid

I'm not thrilled with the ingredients (esp. the preservative linked to ulcers, headaches, etc.) and the poor ingredients are reflected in the nutritional info. There's absolutely no fiber...how is that possible? This bread just isn't worth it. I don't recommend it and won't be buying it again.
