Wheat – The Perfect Ingredient For The Best Sandwiches In Dubai

Did you know that wheat is considered almost perfect food? Along with banana and milk, these 3 foods are packed with a wide range of essential nutrients that ensures a well-balanced diet.

Called the “staff of life”, wheat provides about 15 to 60 percent of the calories and protein in most diets of people. Considering the 44 known essential nutrients, only five are missing from wheat.

The wheat berry alone contains 22 vitamins and minerals. Its bran, having five or six layers of protective coating mainly consists of fibers.

To retain most of the original wheat berry, it is recommended that they should be stone ground when processed.  When wheat is refined, nutrients are lost. Refined wheat flour has 60 to 80 percent fewer nutrients than the whole kernel and only 10% of its fiber.

Wheat is the most nutritious flour you can use to make bread for your sandwiches. It was thought before that this food is fattening because of its carbohydrate content but research has proven that they are valuable when they come in their natural form of whole grains. The creamy sauces, butter and oily spreads that people put on their bread are what make it fattening.
