Bread is back in vogue for carb conscious Australians, with Bakers Delight’s new Hi-Protein Low Carb Wholegrain Loaf, a nutrient rich, great tasting option that supports modern eating habits without compromise.
High in protein and fibre, the new Hi-Protein Low Carb Wholegrain Loaf contains 50 percent less carbohydrates than Bakers Delight’s traditional Wholemeal Loaf and delivers 50 percent of the Grains and Legumes Nutrition Council’s™ (GLNC) suggested 48g daily wholegrain target.
The launch marks a significant step forward in Bakers Delight’s health range, bringing together the key nutritional benefits Australians are seeking, while staying true to the brand’s commitment to baking fresh from scratch every day using real ingredients.
Bakers Delight Joint CEO, Elise Gillespie, said the new loaf reflected the brand’s ongoing evolution to meet changing customer expectations.
"We know our customers’ needs are constantly evolving, so our range must evolve with them. The Hi-Protein Low Carb Wholegrain Loaf has been carefully developed to deliver the nutrients people are looking for without compromising on the taste and quality Bakers Delight is known for."
"It’s about offering a bread that works harder for our customers, fueling busy, active lifestyles while still delivering on flavour, freshness and enjoyment."
With protein continuing to trend strongly among Australians seeking satiety and muscle support, the new loaf provides more than 12g of protein and over 14g of fibre per serve (serve equals two toast slices), helping support fullness, digestion and sustained energy throughout the day.
At the same time, industry bodies are increasingly focused on the importance of wholegrains in the diet, with intake levels declining despite their well established health benefits.
"Wholegrains remain one of the most important nutritional components in bread, providing fibre, vitamins and minerals that support overall health. Yet many Australians are not meeting the recommended daily intake," said GLNC General Manager, Kathy La Macchia.
"Products like Bakers Delight’s Hi-Protein Low Carb Wholegrain Loaf help bridge that gap, making it easier for consumers to increase their wholegrain intake while also benefiting from higher protein and fibre in a convenient, everyday food."
Now available nationwide, the Hi-Protein Low Carb Wholegrain Loaf is also available as a roll and is designed to fit seamlessly into everyday meals, from breakfast toast to sandwiches and quick lunch options.
