The wife picked it up and I just ate a piece of it. I’ve not even looked at all the ingredients, but the taste was pretty good. Might be a good occasional treat to toast and put a burger in the middle.

How can it be zero carbs and wheat? What is it made of?

#3

I just Googled it and there is a bunch of articles about it. Apparently they have a hard time keeping it on the shelves.

#4

Aldi is also supposed to have a couple different Keto types of ice cream. Just saw those on FlavCity (Youtube).
Aldi rocks. =)

#5

From what I can see there are a number of breads like it - Amazon has them - 7 grams carbs per slice, and 7 or more grams of fiber. Bagels and pizza crust too. Not touching them while deep in weight loss, but I will later on maintenance.

Let us know how it works out. I wonder is if it’s just the husk of the wheat kernels

#7

I’ve not really had a chance to look at it close, but just a glance shows 9 carbs and 9 fiber. Thats where the zero is coming from. I had seen it in a circular a couple of weeks ago and never thought another thing about it. I do okay without foods like this, but it could be a game changer for someone like my wife. I only had one slice with a piece of cheese on it. The texture was good and that is what the big hang up is with most of the keto breads from what I have read. The reviews for it are solid and apparently it’s hard to find.

I know a lot of people on here don’t like foods like this, but for less disciplined people this may lead them to healthier eating. Being able to stick food between slices of bread is why a lot of people struggle to cut the carbs. Personally, this might be something that I may use once a week.

Ingredients are: modified wheat starch, water, wheat gluten, wheat protein isolate, oat fiber (chicory), vegetable fiber, wheat bran, soybean oil, yeast, vinegar, salt, and preservatives (calcium propionate, sorbic acid). Those with allergies should be aware this contains wheat. …More

At last, guilt free grilled ham and cheese sandwiches!

I bought some keto bread over here too from an online website. I froze them when they arrived and thaw when I want one. There were rolls and bagels too. But the thing is-they dont taste good. They feel very heavy i my stomach too. I am not sure if it isnt the food allergy I think I had to bread ( and went away after 72 hours on keto) - but I dont think this will actually become my go to indulgence. I used to love bread with camembert or brie. Now I like the cheese without the bread it seems. But I would not voluntarily walk into a bakery for all of the temptation smells…

#11

I bought two loaves and put them in the freezer because I already had some Sola bread I was using.

This bread doesn’t freeze well, thawed and toasted it has a very stale texture with a bad taste.

It may be different if it isn’t frozen and eaten fresh, but I’ll stick to either Sola buns or bunless.

#12

I tried to get some of this bread yesterday! I saw articles on how Aldi was going to make this a permanent item due to all the hype it received.

I asked one of the women working if they had any and she said they only get 1 shipment every so often and it sells out quick. I hope I get lucky enough to get my hands on a loaf.

I wish aldi was able to keep it in stock. They’ve even put a limit of two per person per day and still can’t keep it in! :laughing::laughing:

It’s ridiculously expensive, but it wasn’t bad. A bit dry so not the best for something like toast unless you want to slather it in butter.

Can’t remember who it was (some lady with an obscenely tight bun in her hair and too much makeup), but I saw a YouTube video right after I’d managed to find a loaf at our Aldi. She checked with her glucose meter before and after and the bread didn’t have any affect on her blood sugar.

#15

I watched that video too. She tested something like three times after eating it and it didn’t spike her blood sugar at all. That is good to know.

Personally, I’d rather eat a chaffle. But then I never ate things like grilled cheese sandwiches, or really much bread at all other than for sandwiches.

(Bunny) #17

The first ingredient (resistant wheat starch most likely?) is what it has the most of and then the less of the last ingredient.

The resistant starch is the reason it does not raise the blood sugars?

“Modified Wheat Starch” being the secret ingredient?

(Julie ) #18

I have checked for it at two or three locations here and they don’t stock it.

(Jason) #19

having a heard time finding it around my area as well

(Bob M) #20

I’m sure the fiber is a lot of the reason it does not raise blood sugar (at least initially). (Though this is likely individual.)

I’m just hesitant to eat things that have more than a few ingredients. This weekend, I made Einkorn biscuits, as a test of the fat+starch theory and to try after my workouts, to see if they can replace glycogen. They had butter, Einkorn wheat, baking soda and powder, salt, sour cream and buttermilk. And the sour cream and buttermilk are the cleanest I can buy. Had 3 small ones last night (with TONS of butter) and I’m still in ketosis.

They probably would be too high in carbs if large enough for a sandwich, and I really only want them for after my workout. But when things start to get totally fake, as the product is in this thread, I begin wondering if they’re really worthwhile as compare to just a slice of real bread?

Now, if you eat them sometimes and they fulfill some need you’re not getting, I have no problem with people eating these. Probably better than some PUFA-laden fake bread with tons of nut flours.

But if you want them for picking up one sandwich, a chaffle just has eggs and cheese. You can’t get simpler than that (assuming you can handle the taste). So, for my kids, I might think about this. But for me, I can eat a sandwich with chaffles, as I eat 3-4 more usually by picking them up by the meat anyway.
