The Nature's Own Small Loaves are a new range of bread products from the brand that are crafted with smaller households in mind to help consumers reduce waste. The bread products come in three varieties including Sourdough, 100% Whole Wheat and Hawaiian, which are each perfect for being used in a wide range of recipes. The new loaves are expected to be right at home within the existing range that includes the Homestyle White and Ancient Grain varieties, and boast the same full-size slices as the brand's traditional loaves, just with less overall product.
Chief Brand Officer at Flower Foods Mark Courtney commented on the new Nature's Own Small Loaves saying, "The world of food is constantly evolving, and we are focused on keeping the consumer at the heart of everything we do. Our latest innovation further expands our branded portfolio to meet the needs of consumers seeking differentiated, better-for-you products, as well as those shopping with value in mind.”
