Whole-wheat bread

Also called: brown bread, wholemeal bread, multigrain bread, granary bread, wheat bread, brown toast, vollkornbrot

The bran keeps it slow and filling — steadier energy than white bread.

How Whole-wheat bread affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
