Crispbread vs Regular Bread...

[Eric D]

Hi

Is there a significant difference between the two?

Here is my general comparison...

Store bought Russian Rye Bread vs Wasa Fibre Rye

Pound for pound comparison: Wasa is more than twice as
expensive. Russian Rye has only 2/3rds the calories. fibre
makes up 27% of the Wasa product but only 8% of the
Russian Rye.

So, is the fibre content the reason why so many recommend
crisp bread over regular bread or are there other significant
considerations?

thanks for any help.

I will cross post this to

It is simply a novel food that once was a military field
ration. I will say it has a downside. If one is prone to GERD
or even so far largely symptomatic esophageal reflux, eating
hard tack (one traditional name of the past for this product)
it can damage the esophagus and start the cycle of injury and
acid reflux damage that can progress to full blown GERD.

It can also make the mouth sore.

So if you eat it, soak it first such that it is soft.
