This low carbohydrate bread reportedly decreases the usual negative health effects associated with highly refined carbohydrates, including spiked blood sugar. The product range is particularly suited for diabetics, individuals who want to follow a healthy lifestyle or are on a diet, and those on high protein and low carbohydrate eating plans.
Sally J'Arlette-Joy, managing director of Sandwich Baron says they have always provided the lunch time trade with a unique alternative in the form of scrumptious sandwiches, pitas and tramezzini's. "In continuing to offer our customers with only the best choices, it seemed fitting to promote an even healthier option through our low carbohydrate range. Not only do we want to satisfy our existing customers' appetites for healthier options, but we also ensure that people with conditions such as diabetes or wheat allergies have the opportunity to also treat themselves.
"Thus far, our 65 stores have encountered an overwhelming response from their communities, and are immensely satisfied that we have acquired a new customer base through offering these delicious menu items."
Sandwich Baron's low carbohydrate products, which are unrefined and have no preservatives or additives, incorporate ingredients such as whole ground almonds, linseed and oats, as opposed to the normal high carbohydrate, and highly refined flours that are present in standard bread sold to the public.
The range offers several advantages over low Glycemic Index (GI) bread, which is traditionally viewed as the best carbohydrate option for those encountering health problems associated with bread. Sandwich Baron's low carb bread has 80% less carbohydrates and 70% less calories per slice. A slice from the Healthy-Eating bread range contributes 2.14 grams of calories, while low GI bread contributes 10.4 grams of calories per slice.
