This is a yummy bar...sticky, but yummy. The ingredients are all wholesome and it's pretty low calorie so I never feel bad snacking on these. It's a nice, light snack and very sweet, so if you're having a craving, this'll do the trick. There is only 2g of fiber and 3g of protein, but it's delicious and low-calorie enough for me to recommend and healthier than your average snack bar.

Hi Diane, after viewing several of your reviews on your blog as well as on Mfg's sites, I have come up with a question you may be able to answer. I am an 85 yr old pre-diabetic and addicted to good bread (German heritage), but trying to get a way from anything made of wheat. So I am buying Spelt bread w/wild rice Dimpflmaier brand. But it says it has wheat in it. It is of course ancient wheat anyway. Would you know the Glycemic Index GI of this item ? My e-addy is parego@niagara.com.TX !!
ReplyDeleteHi Bertold. Thanks for reading my blog and for your question. Unfortunately, I don't have specific info on the spelt bread w/wild rice from Dimpflmeier. However, from each of the 6 websites I checked, the estimates for spelt breads range between 60-88 (http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=faq&dbid=32).
ReplyDeleteI know that the same brand also makes the following wheat-free breads:
- Organic - 100% Rye Bread with Flaxseeds
- Organic - 100% Rye Bread with Sunflower Seeds
- Organic - 100% Rye Bread with Whole Grain
- Organic - Unsalted 100% Rye Bread
Hope this has been helpful to you!
Hi Diane, Your efforts on behalf of answering my question are so much appreciated and I thank you for the information. I will admit that I have been aware of the Rye bread versions of Dimpflmeier's Organic breads, and I am tempted to switch to Rye, as the ancestrial bonds to wheat disturb me. For a bread addict, this is a real conundrum. What to do and not raise blood sugar beyond acceptable readings ?
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteI would recommend whole-grain barley (so, versus ground whole grains) or rye, which help to regulate blood sugar levels. Monitoring your body's reaction to these will be important. You can figure out exactly what your limits are.
