I confess that I'm a HUGE bread addict—so much so that I could eat it during every meal. But the problem I run into, like most others, is that bread is usually filled with lots of calories and carbs. I knew it wasn't sustainable to eat as much bread as I was, so I started to look for healthier alternatives and came acrossHero Seeded Bread and Dave’s Killer Powerseed Bread. Here are my thoughts on both.
If you want your bread to taste like bread… Hero
If you've tried low carb bread, then you know it sometimes doesn't quite taste like bread.
Dave's Killer Powerseed Bread works fine if you’re in a rush and just need to eat something quickly, but it didn’t really taste like bread in the way that I’d hoped.
Hero Seeded Bread, on the other hand, was delicious from the very first bite making me want to slow down while I ate it so I can savor every bite. Plus, the seeds add in a nice crunch and nutty flavor without needing a ton of condiments to taste great.
If the nutritional facts are important to you… Hero
I care about ingredients and nutrition, especially when choosing low carb bread. It's quite impressive that the Hero Seeded Bread has just 1 gram of net carbs, zero sugar, 6 grams of protein, and 12 grams of fiber in one slice. And I can’t believe each slice only has 60 calories.
It may not seem like a lot, but Dave's Killer Powerseed Bread has way more calories and carbs than I prefer. Each slice has 100 calories, 18 grams of carbs, 4 grams of fiber, 14 net carbs, 1 gram of sugar (it's sweetened with fruit juices), and 5 grams of protein.
Based on these nutrition facts, I'm sticking with the Hero Seeded Bread since I don't want or need extra carbs and I appreciate the extra fiber in my diet.
If you value convenience… Dave’s
I always go for stuff that’s convenient, and lucky for me, I'm able to purchase both breads at my local grocery store. However, not all grocery stores carry Hero’s like they do Dave’s, so if you can’t find Hero Seeded Bread, you’ll need to order from their website.
If you like to compare prices… Both
Hero Seeded Bread and Dave’s Killer Powerseed Bread cost the same ($6.99 per loaf) at my local grocery store so this wasn’t a huge factor when deciding which I liked better. Prices do vary across the country, but for me, the price was exactly the same.
If you care about texture… Hero
I don’t know about you, but I like my bread to be fluffy and soft, and the texture of the Hero Seeded Bread blew me away. It tastes so fresh and soft straight out of the bag, and it's a great seeded bread alternative with a satisfying, wholesome texture.
Dave's Killer Powerseed Bread definitely doesn't fall into the fluffy and soft category. As a matter of fact, I found it to be rather dense and dry. As someone who loves sandwiches, Hero Seeded Bread was definitely the better choice.
My favorite… Hero
Taking into consideration all of the facts about taste, texture, ingredients, and more, I’m declaring the Hero Seeded Bread as my winner. It's a delicious tasting bread that I've been enjoying at all times of the day, and it meets my taste preferences and dietary requirements best. So if you're concerned about your carb and calorie intake too, then you have to try Hero Seeded Bread. And if seeded bread isn't your thing, they also offer a white bread alternative, tortillas, and more.
