This bread is a great addition to normal bread because it is gluten-free. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, barley and rye which can be quite difficult to break down in the digestive tract. 1 in 3 people have an intolerance to wheat which is why they experience digestive complaints such as bloating, pain and constipation. This bread is made of nuts, seeds and coconut flour all of which are packed with fibre and additional vitamins and minerals to nourish the body.
