Bread just got healthier to eat.
Because you can reduce its impact on blood sugar by freezing it first, and toasting it later! That simple move cuts its glycemic index in HALF, which is how fast it spikes your blood sugar. According to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, freezing and toasting bread changes the molecular structure of the starch. So, instead of treating it like simple carbs or sugar, your body processes bread like complex carbs, which keeps your blood sugar steady. And that smoothes out the blood sugar spikes and crashes that trigger cravings. All just by freezing and toasting your bread.
