Wheat slices

Wheat slices...

Taking care of our health, we are increasingly trying to purchase food that would differ not only in increased gastronomic qualities, but also, undoubtedly, in the benefits for the body. Today, on store shelves in the dietary nutrition departments, you can find many low-calorie products that are not only characterized by a reduced nutritional value, but also contain little fat and carbohydrates in the form of sugar. It is among such healthy products that wheat slices stand out.

Wheat slices are one of the varieties of natural dietary products made on the basis of high-quality raw materials. Wheat slices are produced from whole wheat grains, which necessarily pass the germination stage. In the process of rapid heat treatment, under the influence of a very high temperature, the grains explode, forming an air structure and increasing in volume.

After that, the blown grains can be additionally enriched with vitamin-mineral additives, as well as a salt or a sugar substitute. The result is slightly salty or sweetened wheat slices. At the last stage of production, wheat grains are pressed using special equipment and packages with neatly folded round washers are placed on store shelves.

You can use wheat slices as an independent dish by drinking them with tea or coffee. Some successfully replace bread with this product. Many people like to make delicious low-calorie sandwiches and sandwiches with vegetables, herbs or spices based on slices of wheat. Good desserts and porridge are obtained with the addition of crushed wheat slices in a variety of liquid products: sour cream, milk, cream, cream, yogurt, melted chocolate.

Benefits of wheat slices

The benefit of wheat slices lies primarily in the fact that yeast is not used at all in their manufacture, so the finished product, unlike the same bread, can be stored for a much longer time. In addition, compared to traditional bread, slices retain almost all the beneficial properties of grain. Wheat slices are rich in a whole palette of vitamins (A, PP, E and B) and trace elements (potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus).

With regular consumption, the benefits of wheat slices are manifested in favorable effects on many human organs and systems. In particular, the healing effect of eating this product is due to the content of a large amount of fiber, which, like a sponge, absorbs all harmful compounds in the human body and naturally removes them from the body. In addition, wheat slices are considered an excellent preventive agent for gastrointestinal diseases, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, as well as for excess weight.
