Now – as some of you may be aware, Hero’s Pizza are currently trialing alternative bases for healthier options. AND the debate is raging as to wholegrain OR wholemeal. What do you think? Personally, I am a wholegrain type of person because I like to see what is actually going on whereas with wholemeal, you know its good for you but you’re not really sure why – its just a bit more textured and heavier than usual. Nutritionists say wholegrain is a great low GI food source – meaning its fairly unprocessed and our bodies are left to process the grain in its natural form thereby giving us a slower, but more sustained release type of energy as opposed to anything that has been further processed such as Wholemeal. These are grains that have been processed but not to the degree that highly refined white flours have. Wholemeal therefore gives us a faster hit of energy as our bodies dont need to process as much but still retains the fibre which is good for our digestive system. So, tell us what you think and why or just vote one or the other and help us make the choice!

Wholemeal wholemeal wholemeal! Who wants icky grains in their pizza base – it would ruin the whole experience for me! It gets stuck in your teeth, takes away from the flavoursome toppings, and changes the texture too substantially. I trialled subways whole grain bread cos’ it sounded healthy, and ended up throwing the bread portion away… that would become a lot messier with pizza, especially as Heroes bases are usually so good!

How about some gluten free options, and I mean freshly made ones, not those aweful pre-made frozen ones that most places stock
