Is rye bread considered any better than say, whole wheat bread? I absolutely love rye bread, especially Dimpflmeier rye bread (http://www.dimpfbreadex.com)! It's made from 100% natural spring water and it's only about 110 calories per slice and they're sugar and salt-free. Plus, I feel as though they fill me up more.

I'm tryin' to help you out here but I can't find the nutritional value or ingredients on the website!!!!!

Is rye better than whole wheat.....more like on par....provided the ingredients are fairly decent. Personally I'd recommend spouted grain bread if you have to have a bread source (many supermarkets are now carrying it, so you can get a better price than the health food stores)

Hey Doordude42, here's the nutritional information for the one I'm currently eating:

Per slice
110 cal
0.5g fat
21g carbs
3g fiber
0g sugar
4g protein

Let me know what you think.

That sounds o.k.but......Is it enriched? (that's a no-no) Is it bleached? (another no-no) What's it sweetened with?

As far as breads & GI go, Pumpernickel has the lowest GI of all breads. A lot of people say pumpernickel rye, so I'm not sure if they are the same or not. At the grocery store they do have Pumpernickel, and they do have Rye so I just get the Pumpernickel. It has a GI of about 43, which is even lower than oatmeal.

Here is some other benificial mumbo-jumbo...

"A good source of B vitamins, a slice of pumpernickel also contains the energy-enhancing mineral iron. A low-GI food, this dark rye bread is rich in protease inhibitors that help to zap cancer-causing protease enzymes."

I'm lucky to live in the area that eats lots of rye bread. :) In short, it's generally lower GI than wheat breat, but it varies. The finer the flour is ground, the higher GI it is. The lowest GI and lowest calorie are whole grain, but they don't really taste so great IMHO. So the pumpernickel style breads are a notch up from whole grain, and a hence a happy medium. :nod:
