The bread also is a good source of fiber and provides 22g of whole grains per slice. And, it is baked using only all natural ingredients, has no artificial flavors or colors, no trans fats, no artificial preservatives and contains no high-fructose corn syrup.

Pitlik also cited the results of a recent study by The Hartman Group indicating that Gen-Xers are increasing their consumption of fiber (74 percent), whole grains (63 percent), olive oil (58 percent) and omega 3-ALA (53 percent). Baby boomers are experiencing a similar trend and increasing fiber (74 percent), whole grains (64 percent), olive oil (66 percent) and omega 3-ALA (59 percent).

"Nature's Pride continues to address the needs of baby boomer and Gen-X consumers who are seeking to increase their consumption of ingredients such as fiber, olive oil and omega-3 that provide nutritional benefits," she adds.
