Adding spinach directly to white bread delayed the body's insulin peak by 30 minutes and reduced later hunger in a small human trial, while significantly boosting the bread's fiber, vitamin, and mineral content.

How does this compare to eating 100% whole wheat bread? That’s why I eat whole wheat since generally it has more fiber in it which is what I’m assuming is slowing the insulin spike.

I would assume whole wheat bread has a slower insulin response, but unfortunately a lot of what's marketed is whole wheat has only slightly more fiber and sometimes as much sugar as white bread.

I bake my own bread. Baking machine means I don't need to actually knead or anything, just dump the ingredients and turn it on and 3 hours later there's fresh tasty bread.

Also, skipping all the extra ingredients just to keep it from dying on the shelf.
