Review of 'Golden Harvest' Whole Wheat Raisin

Golden Harvest -- Whole Wheat Raisin (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3/5
Summary: way too dry. It's medium sweet and has plump raisins. If it weren't so very dry, this would be quite good! The website doesn't have specific product information, so what you see here, you will have to trust. The parent company, DIH Ltd is involved in social responsibility activities as well (more info below).

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



Ingredients: wheat flour, wheat bran, water, raisins, sugar, vegetable shortening, vegetable margarine, salt, yeast, mixed spice.
Preservative: calcium propionate
Emulsifier, Lecithin
Flour Treatment Agents: L Ascorbic Acids

So, as for the ingredients...if they used real whole grains, the protein and fiber content would be richer.

I share the details for 2 slices, since this is a common serving. It would yield 2.5g of Fat, 190mg of Sodium, 28g of Carbs, 2.5g of Fiber, 3g of Sugar, 3.5g of Protein and 7.5% Iron. This is decent, but not impressive. The fiber and protein content isn't up to snuff for me.
