About Hops bread

Hops bread is a traditional Caribbean bread most commonly associated with Trinidad and Tobago. It is a soft, fluffy, roll-type bread made from wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, and sometimes milk or butter, giving it a slightly sweet and tender texture. The use of ‘hops’ refers to air pockets in the dough, creating light and airy rolls that pair well with various meals. Nutritionally, hops bread is a good source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, but it is generally low in nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals unless fortified.

Health Benefits

• Provides a source of quick energy due to its high carbohydrate content, essential for brain and muscle function.

• When made with fortified flour, it can supply small amounts of iron, which is important for oxygen transport in the body.

Can I eat Hops Bread on a keto diet?

Hops Bread is not compatible with a keto diet because it is high in carbohydrates, with approximately 25-30g of carbs per serving. Since keto diets typically limit daily carb intake to 20-50g, Hops Bread would not fit within these guidelines.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with eating Hops Bread?

However, it is typically made with refined white flour, which can cause blood sugar spikes and may be a concern for individuals managing diabetes or looking to reduce refined carb intake.

How much Hops Bread should I eat per serving?

How does Hops Bread compare to whole grain bread?
