Density 58 · +18 vs Baked goods medianProtein bread scores 58 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks it 4th of 60 in the baked goods category, well ahead of many everyday loaves. Alongside an excellent 24% DV of protein, it also delivers 23% DV of iron, with smaller contributions of magnesium at 15% DV and fiber at 11% DV.
This is a specialty loaf built around vital wheat gluten, generally sliced for sandwiches or toast just like standard bread. A one-ounce slice supplies a meaningful protein boost for its size, but the trade-off is sodium: at 404 milligrams per 100 grams, it runs high enough to be worth watching for anyone tracking daily sodium intake.
