Nutrition

We're all concerned about living a healthy lifestyle, and eating the right foods is an important part of taking care of ourselves and our families. That's why Great Harvest breads are such a great fit in your nutritional needs.

The benefits of whole grains most documented by repeated studies include:

stroke risk reduced 30-36%
type 2 diabetes risk reduced 21-30%
heart disease risk reduced 25-28%
better weight maintenance

Other benefits indicated by recent studies include:

reduced risk of asthma
healthier carotid arteries
reduction of inflammatory disease risk
lower risk of colorectal cancer
healthier blood pressure levels
less gum disease and tooth loss

We have nutrition labels for our daily breads and some for our sweets. Please ask if you want more info, we usually have it on hand. Coming soon I'll have information on how eating our whole grains can improve your health. For general nutritional information we suggest you visit the nutritional pages on the Great Harvest corporation's Website. The chart will provide you with some general information about a wide variety of breads, some of which we bake right here in our store using the same or similar recipes.

Here's a link to some dietary info on whole grains from the FDA.
