Hi, we have a problem at the moment to get our child to eat any bread other
than white bread.

he will however, eat ' the best of both' type. which says it is white with
all the goodness of wholemeal. is this really true? that this white type
of bread does contain the goodness of wholemeal? thanks for any advice.

But there's a little-known alternative to the usual whole-wheat flour that
could get a boost as new dietary guidelines encourage shoppers to
ramp up whole-grain consumption.

Confusingly, it's called "white wheat," made from a naturally occurring
albino variety. But the resemblance to typical bleached flour stops there.
Fans say flour made from white wheat has all the nutrition and fiber of whole
wheat without the taste that some find unpleasant.

Tannins and phenolic acid in the outer bran of the red wheat commonly
used to make whole-wheat flour can give it a bitter taste. White wheat
doesn't have those compounds, says Charles Walker, a professor of
bakery science at Kansas State University. "It tastes sweet in comparison."

King Arthur Baking company has been selling white whole wheat flour
for a few years.

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

There is a Wonder bread out now that is for white bread lovers...it
looks wheatey, but it's really soft like white bread. It's not too
bad!

I just looked at the website, and it is made with the white wheat.

For gosh sakes it's just bread. What's wrong with letting him eat the
type of bread he likes? Doesn't he other stuff to make up for the so
called nutrutional deficiency of white bread? As long as he eats other
nutritional foods and doesn't start eating junk food I see nothing
wrong with eating just white bread. Wheat bread tastes like you're
eating a cardboard box.

Its not just bread, it's all the other refined starch with no fibre, ie
pasta, polished rice etc.
making inroads on the bread front would be worth doing, especially since he
eats masses of the stuff. Since i am in london U.K. would anyone know
what makes of bread sold here is manufactured from 'white' wheat. Because i
dont know whether the so called 'best of both' is actually made from white
wheat or just some clever marketing alternative.
