Protein content continues to take center stage for many food products but is being followed closely by fiber, which is seeing brands respond with new options like the Oroweat® Fiber Power Bread. The bakery item comes as an update to the brand's classic whole grain bread to achieve a rich, satisfying flavor that doesn't skimp on fiber. The product thus features 14-grams of fiber for every two-slice serving to help consumers get 40% of their daily recommended intake for fiber in one shot.
The Oroweat® Fiber Power Bread is arriving now at retailers in the US for $7.69 per loaf and is positioned to be a great option for consumers looking to try out the fibermaxxing lifestyle. The product also responds to the more than 90% of adults in the US who don't meet their daily fiber needs, according to the brand.
