Linda a happy customer and the Healthy Baker Gillian
It all was spurred into action in 2005 by the nurturing heart of a mom wanted the best for her kids. Gillian is one of those moms who reads the fine print on labels and squeeze the loaves, only to find more air than product.
The lack of nutritionally sound breads free from chemical additives steeled the decision. Gillian thus decided to make breads using whole grains and unadulterated ingredients, without artificial preservatives and refined or processed stuff.
Curious as to the ingredients, she did not hesitate to generously share. Here is a quick experiment you can do to gauge the health of your loaves. Go to the frig or breadbox and see how those labels compare with these.
• Breads include Fruit and Nut (made with organic currants, raisins, cherries, cranberries and walnuts. Enhanced with a touch of Coriander, Orange Peel and Organic Evaporated Cane Juice)
• Organic Multigrain Bread–made with 7 organic grains and totally wholesome
A mouth-watering array of healthy delights
• Organic Agave and Flax–made with organic raw agave nectar and organic flax seed meal
