Comparing Carbonaut: How We Stack Up?

When choosing healthy products for you and your family, interpreting health claims and navigating nutrition labels can be tricky. The task of systematically scanning these labels for quality ingredients that make sense is often daunting—but only if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

Friends? Carbonaut is here to save the day.

The Importance of Quality Ingredients

Ingredients are more than the name of the source from which they derive. How do we know what types of flour are better? And what about sugar? Are all sugar sources created equal? Why do we add sugar to certain foods?

And what does fibre have to do with anything?

At Carbonaut, the ingredients we choose are chosen with utmost intention. Want to learn more?

Let’s launch.

Flour

Most wheat breads are made with primarily wheat flour. Makes sense, right? But at Carbonaut, we blend wheat proteins and various fibres with resistant tapioca and/or resistant potato starch to create our number conscious, high fibre loaves. (Resistant starches behave like soluble fibre.) This ensures a fluffy and delicious texture, while also increasing the fibre (which is something most of us don’t get enough of).

Sugar

While most bread recipes contain sugar(s), Carbonaut bread does not. In keeping with our number conscious promise, we intentionally leave it out, so a slice of our bread can be as number conscious as possible for our consumers.

Fibre

Fibre plays an important role in our diet and health outcomes. It’s necessary for proper digestion, slow and steady glucose absorption, and effective waste expulsion. Increased fibre intake also reduces the risk of metabolic illness, cardiovascular disease, and colonic cancers.

Most of us do not eat the daily recommended minimum intake of fibre—which is why Carbonaut products are such a great choice for those who want to easily incorporate more into our daily meal plans.

Our bread is high fibre, number conscious, and galactically tasty.

Numbers Don’t Lie

After you have scanned the actual ingredients, look for the numbers associated with calories, fat, carbohydrates, and fibre. You’ll also require the universal calculation for net carbs, because most nutrition labels won’t provide that number. The number you’re looking for is calculated by taking the total carbs minus total fibre.

This equals the total net carbs.

To provide complete and total transparency to our Carbonaut family (that’s YOU!), we’ve gathered information on the leading brands—and the results are in.

Numbers Conscious Living

Carbonaut is all about being number conscious. Our products feature impressively low numbers, making them ideal for those following a low carb lifestyle, focused on weight management, or living with diabetic dietary restrictions.

 Fibre

Fibre plays a huge role in the success of our number conscious product launches. Fibre helps to slow the absorption of glucose and prevents glucose spikes.

This is why those following a diabetic diet can eat our bread!

When you incorporate adequate amounts of fibre into your lifestyle, the results are out of this world.
