Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats (7 Grain) Review

Pepperidge Farms 7 Grain Deli Flats are described as 100 calorie thin rolls that are an excellent source of fiber. "They are hearth baked with a soft and delicious taste, making them great for sandwiches, grilling and toasting."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 roll (43 grams)
Calories: 100

Let me just cut to the chase: the 7 Grain Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats are so good! It doesn't have a strong wheaty taste, and in fact, it tastes a little sweet to me. I checked out the ingredients list to make sure it's made with whole wheat flour - and it is. I have to say, this is one of my favorite "bread flats." I found it on sale at my local supermaket for $2.49 and it was money well spent.

Each 43 gram 7 Grain Pepperidge Farm Deli Flat provides 100 calories from 1 gram of total fat, 170 mg sodium (7% of the daily value), 5 grams of fiber (20% of the DV), 3 grams of sugars and 6 grams of protein.

The ingredients start with whole wheat flour, unbromated unbleached enriched flour, water, sugar (no high fructose corn syrup), sugarcane fiber, etc. It's not described as natural, and the ingredients are fairly typical.

I certainly plan on buying this again - it's too good not to and I like it better than Arnold Select Multigrain Sandwich Thins.

Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Cracker Chips (Simply Multi-Grain) Review

As I was checking out all the goodies in the supermarket aisle, I came across Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Simply Multi-Grain Cracker Chips. I remember reviewing Special K Cracker Chips recently, so I wondered if this would be similar. On the PF website, this is described as, "the next best thing in snacking. All the goodness of a whole grain cracker baked into a crunchy little chip ... one tasty combination! With 60% less fat than the leading potato chip and all the delicious flavor you crave, go ahead and crunch naturally."

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 30 grams (27 pieces)
Calories: 140
Total Fat: 4 grams, 6%
Saturated Fat: 0.5 grams, 3%
Sodium: 210 mg, 9%
Carbohydrates: 24 grams
Fiber: 2 grams, 8%
Sugars: 3 grams
Protein: 1 gram

What I found is that this is very different from Special K Cracker Chips in both taste and texture. The Pepperidge Farms Multi-Grain Cracker Chips are smaller, thinner, rectangular in shape but curvy on one side - whereas the Special K ones were like round discs. The PF Cracker Chips are pretty sturdy, salty, yet with a subtly sweet multi-grain taste. I really liked them and could definitely see myself eating this instead of potato chips.

Each serving of Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Simply Multi-Grain Cracker Chips provides 140 calories from 4 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of which is saturated (6% and 3% of the daily value), 210 mg of sodium (9% of the DV), 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugars and 1 gram of protein.

The ingredients list starts with corn flour, vegetable oils, wheat and brown sugar. On the front of the packaging, this states that this has 60% less fat than the leading potato chip. I don't know what the leading potato chip is, but this does indeed have 60% less fat than Lays Classic Potato Chips BUT also more ingredients (including things like monocalcium phosphate and sodium acid pyrophosphate), whereas for Lays it's simply potatoes, vegetable oils and salt. That's something to think about - is the purity of the ingredients more important than 6 grams more of total fat, especially since Lays only has 0.5 grams more saturated fat? Or maybe you don't eat chips or "cracker chips" at all.

I purchased a bag of Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Simply Multi-Grain Cracker Chips for $2.49 and I would buy it again. I didn't run through these like I would have potato chips.

Tasting! Pepperidge Farm Stone Baked Artisan Rolls

I loves me some carbohydrate fanfare. Don’t you? Too bad it makes my stomachs poke out and my fat cells bulge real big. Hence, the reason I choose my carbohydrate moments very carefully. The carb has GOT to be of fine-tasty quality and totally worth the chewing.

While I was shopping at the ghetto grocery store because it was near where I was headed (…to the ghetto??), I spotted some Pepperidge Farm Multi-Grain Artisan Rolls. They do, indeed, rank top notch on my carb-o-meter. Pepperidge claims the rolls are made from the “finest ingredients”, which I’m inclined to believe from the greedy tastiness.

These crusty on the outside; warm and soft on the inside (frozen) dinner rolls go from oven to Food Trap in about 8-minutes flat. But make sure there’s ample storage in your stomach chamber, because you WILL desire more than one.

The roll has and all-star blend of wheat germ, wheat bran, bulgur wheat (and more), plus flax seeds so big they wave hello. And there’s plenty of nooks and granny panties crannies for the melted buttery goodness to seep in. These could easily be sold in a lazy-azz bakery or restaurant, and people would be fooled into giving compliments to the baker.
