If you\u2019ve been cooking from \u2018Eat More, Live Well<\/a>,\u2019 you might have noticed that I am a fan of adding veg into my bread recipes (there\u2019s an entire grated carrot n my \u2018Foolproof fermented wheaten bread\u2019, for example!)<\/p>\n

But WHY do I do this? Truth is, it\u2019s not just because I think it makes your bread taste way more complex and flavourful. Rather, it\u2019s also because there\u2019s research showing the health benefits of veg-enriched loaves.<\/p>\n

In one 2021 study, researchers looked at the impacts of veg-enriched bread versus commercial white bread and commercial brown bread on indicators including the appetites and insulin levels (I chat more about this hormone in the book!) of people participating.<\/p>\n

The results showed that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When the participants ate the veg bread they reported feeling more satisfied (appetite regulation), versus when they ate the white or brown bread.<\/li>\n
  2. They also experienced a lower insulin response with the veg bread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Research translation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is what I’m all about! By baking a veg-packed loaf, you\u2019re essentially translating this science into practice, making it a win for your taste buds and your overall health.<\/p>\n
