A colourful and antioxidant-rich bread | By John McColl, Bakers Journal technical editor

Between January and November 2008, 25 per cent of all new food products launched worldwide were either positioned as trans-fat-free or produced with no additives or preservatives. Moreover, one in every four products launched last year was positioned with some sort of health benefit.

The purple wheat bread contains a unique purple colour because of the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment also found in blueberries and known to contain antioxidants that help protect the body from the formation of free radicals. This amazing product is also free from artificial colours, preservatives, enzymes and flavours.
