We have two other @UKRI_News Transforming UK Food Systems projects ukfoodsystems.ukri.org looking to make white bread healthier, one through fibre-enhanced white flour, the other through pulses - see Raising the Pulse here: research.reading.ac.uk/raisi…

Here’s a plan to make sliced white loaves to be as nutritious as wholemeal. The researchers are adding small amounts of other grains to the flour mix with the aim of keeping the fluffy white taste and texture of white bread the same. bbc.com/news/articles/c87z06…

Pulses are an important component of our diet for human and environmental health. Unsurprisingly baked beans are the commonest pulse eaten in UK. #beansintoast #raisingthepulse @UniRdg_HSU @UniRdg_FNS @UKRI_News @UKRI_News @UniRdg_IFNH

Nutrient-dense and versatile pulses are the ideal ingredient for a healthy, sustainable diet. 🫘
On #WorldPulsesDay, learn more about ‘Raising the Pulse’ by @j_lovegrove, @UniRdg_FNS and @UniRdg_SAPD, which aims to achieve one of the biggest changes to UK food in generations.
