Crispbread is a dietary product. Is it true?
If you want to always stay healthy and slim, stop eating white loaves and rolls made from premium flour and switch to bread products richer in fiber, vitamins and microelements: whole grain loaves, with bran and crispbread. The latter should not be consumed only by children under 2-3 years of age (their young bodies are not yet adapted to such coarse food), but adults can easily make sandwiches from them with low-fat cottage cheese, cheese and vegetables, put low-calorie pates on dry slices and create light ones from them. desserts with fruit. Just don’t think that all bread is equally healthy. There are wonderful crisps made only from whole grains of wheat or corn, and there are examples that do not differ in composition from white bread, and are even supplied with a fair amount of artificial food additives.
Who blew up the wheat?
Whole grain breads made in a machine called an “extruder” are considered the healthiest. They are easy to recognize by their appearance: they look like briquettes (usually round), consisting of swollen grains tightly stuck together. The manufacturing technology of such a product is such that the manufacturer simply cannot put anything harmful to your figure into it: neither fat, nor starch, nor yeast, nor sugar, nor preservatives with dyes. Extruded bread contains only grains and cereals: wheat, rice, buckwheat, corn, pearl barley (unfortunately, they cannot be made from rye). First, the grain mixture is prepared, then it is soaked for half an hour to 12 hours (corn swells for almost a day) so that the rough shells soften a little. Then the grains are poured into the extruder and kept there for 8 seconds at very high pressure and temperature from + 260º C to + 300º C. Under such conditions, the water trapped under the shell instantly turns into steam, and it turns the grain out. In essence, what we get is popcorn, which is familiar to us, but since the grains are in a limited space and have nowhere to grow, after the “explosion” they stick together and form a dense briquette. By the way, these are the breads that are most popular in Europe. Firstly, they have an ideal composition (only wheat, buckwheat, corn, etc.), and secondly, during an incredibly short baking period, the beneficial substances of grains and cereals are preserved in maximum quantities.

When adding this product to your diet, it is important to monitor the quantity (the daily intake should not exceed 200 grams), as well as the consumption of water, since the product is dry, and therefore the body additionally needs water. The daily recommended amount of water is from 1.5 to 2 liters.
Bread, but dry
If the bread you have chosen does not consist of clearly visible whole grains, but is crispy thin croutons, then they are a baked product and are prepared in the same way as regular bread. First, the dough is kneaded from flour, water, yeast, milk powder and spices, then it is infused, then rolled out into layers and baked. The technology and composition of the ingredients of baked bread allows you to put anything in them, so you should be very careful when choosing this type of product. Let’s say, if the manufacturer used premium flour devoid of vitamins and fiber, did not spare yeast for fluffiness, fat, sugar, salt, antioxidants coded “E” and preservatives for greater preservation, such crisps cannot be called healthy, they will give you unnecessary fast carbohydrates and will differ from a white loaf only in less moisture.
To avoid accidentally purchasing harmful ones instead of super-healthy baked breads, be sure to read their ingredients on the label. Ideal dietary specimens should be made from whole grain or wholemeal flour, without yeast (only baking soda is possible), preferably with the addition of seeds (flax, sunflower, sesame) and, of course, without the presence of modified starch, preservatives, dyes, antioxidants and other additives. Proper bread can only be natural, otherwise they cannot be classified as healthy products.
The benefits of bread: are they all healthy?
The benefits of bread for the human body are obvious. First of all, this is due to their high fiber content, which plays a huge role in the intestinal microflora and in cleansing the body of waste and toxins. In terms of fiber content, only 100 g of bread can replace a kilogram of oatmeal! Therefore, bread is simply irreplaceable for those who want to lose weight.
In addition, whole grain bread is a dietary product that is suitable for absolutely all groups of people.
They are shown to people:
- those who want to lose weight;
- those suffering from allergies;
- having problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
- with metabolic disorders;
- just leading a healthy lifestyle.
Crispbread helps prevent many diseases:
- wheat ones are suitable for gastrointestinal diseases;
- Buckwheat is indicated for anemia - they perfectly increase hemoglobin;
- barley works well for problems with the gastrointestinal tract and liver;
- Oatmeal is recommended for consumption by those who suffer from frequent colds, kidney disease and dermatitis;
- rice will help with diseases of the central nervous system, they are also suitable for people with problem skin.
Multigrain breads also perform well and are suitable for absolutely everyone.
The product contains the following components beneficial to the body:
| Name | Benefit |
| Dietary fiber and cellulose | They satisfy hunger, preventing overeating, reduce cholesterol, remove toxins from the body, improve digestion, and make bowel movements regular. |
| Unsaturated fatty acids | They normalize blood pressure, prevent heart disease, reduce the risk of developing cancer, strengthen the nervous system and immunity. |
| Essential amino acids | Participate in the formation of tissues, cells, enzymes, hormones, antibodies. |
| Vitamins | The antioxidants contained in the bread prevent premature aging and improve immunity, and vitamins PP and B affect the functioning of the central nervous system. |
| Microelements | Crisp bread contains a full range of microelements necessary for the normal functioning of the brain, bones, blood, blood vessels, and immune system. |
And lastly, unlike baked goods, bread does not contain yeast, which is also important for the body, especially for those people who watch their figure.
Brittle and crunchy
Some people like Borodino bread with coriander, others prefer rye bread with dill, and still others choose whole grain “exploded” ones. Fortunately, the range of healthy snacks today is huge. But no matter what type of crisps you choose, pay attention to their quality. According to technologists, ideal breads cannot be soft, moist or, conversely, too “woody” (otherwise they will pose a threat to the integrity of the teeth). They should be dry, brittle, crispy, well cooked and easy to bite. The edges of the correct specimens are smooth, not crumbling, the color is uniform: it’s bad when it’s light in one place and dark brown in another. The surface of baked bread may be rough, and “exploded” ones may have small voids due to the proximity of grains of different diameters, but there should not be too many of them.
Beneficial features
Regular consumption of wafer bread helps our digestive system cope with its task, and also facilitates the passage of food through the intestines. Bread is recommended to replace bread for people suffering from stomach and duodenal ulcers. Wafer breads are often recommended for use by people suffering from gastritis or intestinal atony.
The composition, which excludes the presence of any yeast, suggests that wafer breads are useful for both therapeutic nutrition and weight loss.
Packaging defects
When choosing bread rolls, pay attention to the integrity of the packaging they are in: the box should not be wrinkled, the bag should not be torn. If there is a defect, it means that the product could become damp and moldy or, conversely, dry out. Of course, it’s not for nothing that bread got the nickname “canned bread” - they have a very long shelf life, but they can also go bad. Briquettes made from “exploded” grains are stored the longest. They contain a minimum of moisture and fat (only natural fat, contained in seeds and cereals), they do not go rancid and “live” up to 18 months. Baked goods contain vegetable oil, flour and additives, so they have a shorter shelf life of 6-10 months.
Why are they harmful, are there any contraindications?
In matters of the benefit of a product or possible harm, everything depends on the technology of its manufacture.
Products made not from grain, but from flour, are more harmful than beneficial, especially considering the fact that yeast, dyes, flavor enhancers, and other additives are often added to them.
They are prepared almost the same as regular bread, only the shape changes.
Any bread can provoke an allergic reaction.
And even healthy products should not be given to children under three years of age , since their body may not yet be able to digest coarse fiber.
Expert opinion
Alexandra Romanova, leading innovation specialist for the Healthy Nutrition product line of Khlebprom OJSC The calorie content of bread is about 300 kcal. This is almost the same as bread, because these products are made from the same raw materials - grain, which has a certain energy content. True, bread rolls are carriers of “long-lasting” carbohydrates - they are easily absorbed by the body and at the same time give a feeling of fullness. In addition, they are rich in fiber. And it interferes with the absorption of calories. That is, by consuming 35 g of fiber per day, you burn 245 kcal. If you want to lose weight, eat no more than 3-5 breads and combine them with low-fat cottage cheese, cheese, herbs, vegetables and berries.
