Tastemaker: Nature's Pride Hearty Wheat with Flax Bread

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I recently received a loaf of Nature's Pride Hearty Wheat with Flax bread. I decided to try it out the best way I know how -- by making it the base of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (Well, technically a mixture of creamy and cruncy natural peanut butters and strawberry conserve.)

I'm a big fan of hearty sandwich breads, and this one does not disappoint. I particularly like that there are whole flax seeds embedded in each slice. Additionally, the ingredient list is remarkably short and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The bread is sweetened with sugar (and to a lesser extent honey and brown sugar) rather than high fructose corn syrup.

One slice of bread contains 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat (which includes 0.5 g polyunsaturated fat and 0.5 g monounsaturated fat), 130 mg of sodium, 17 g of fiber (including 3 g of dietary fiber and 4 g of sugar), and 5 grams of protein.
