Bread is one of the first snacks we think of on a busy day – or even otherwise! However, those with high blood pressure have to refrain from having bread because of the fear of refined flour and too much salt.

Here is a healthier option with a restricted amount of salt and a combination of wholesome flours and seeds. While the mix of flours makes the Low-Salt High-Fibre Multi-Grain Bread a treasure trove of B-vitamins, the use of flax and other seeds adds to the fibre content.

Despite being nutritious, we suggest you only have this bread occasionally, and not more than two slices per serving.

You can also try other snacks like the Mini Carrot and Cabbage Buckwheat Pancake and Seviyan Upma .
