French Meadow Bakery extends flourishing functional bread line to men containing AdvantaSoy™
Men's Bread offers a truly healthy alternative to traditional bread
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - French Meadow Bakery announced today the addition of the Men's Bread to its functional bread line. Like the highly successful Woman's Bread, the ingredients are from organic and non-GMO sources. The Men's Bread contains soy isoflavones, Omega 3, 6 & 9s, is high in protein and fiber, is made without yeast and sweeteners, and is specially developed for the health needs of men of all ages.
"We have developed what we feel is a truly functional food category. This megafood responds to the specific needs of the male body for mental focus and overall vitality," said Lynn Gordon, President of French Meadow Bakery. "We carefully selected proper amounts of key ingredients for maximum benefit in what we believe is the most convenient form: bread."
The Men's Bread contains a variety of beneficial nutrients from sources that include flaxseed, pumpkin seed, sprouted fava beans, zinc, saw palmetto and ginseng resulting in a "40-30-30" bread with 9 grams of fiber and 15 grams of protein per serving. Another vital ingredient to the men's bread formula is AdvantaSoy™ Complete™ soy isoflavones, supplied by Cargill Health & Food Technologies, which studies suggest soy isoflavones may help to promote prostate health, maintain bone structure and improve general wellness.
"We're very excited to be a part of French Meadow Bakery's functional bread line project," said Ted Ziemann, President, Cargill Health & Food Technologies. "We feel the current project really sets the standard for functional bread and food technologies that allow the incorporation of high-value nutritional ingredients into healthy food products."
