Arnold Select sandwich thins Review

America has a love affair with sandwiches.  It makes no difference what you choose to put between two pieces of bread, it is a love affair I tell you.

The Problem

Bread is fattening.  Whether you are counting calories or carbs, they both mount up quickly when we indulge in our love affair.

Although I have found both low-carb and low calorie breads they always leave something to be desired.  Both tend to be soft and fluffy and lack what I'll refer to as "chew".  There's usually very little substance to chew on.  They also seem to lack any distinctive taste.

Arnold Select Sandwich Thins

Apparently, Arnold Bakeries saw an opportunity here and I for one am glad they did.  They developed Arnold Select Sandwich Thins.  Available in at least Multi-Grain and Whole Wheat (I haven't yet seen other varieties), Sandwich Thins are pre-sliced pita-like rolls of about 4 1/2" in diameter.

Each Sandwich Thin contains 100 calories, or about half that for regular bread slices.  As far as Carbs go, the Whole Wheat variety contains 21 grams, with dietary fiber accounting for 5 of the grams.  Net grams=16.  Again, this is less than half the grams of carbs you'll generally find in two slices of bread.

Taste and Texture

there's no sacrifice here with regards to either taste or texture.  Arnold Select Sandwich Thins have a hearty Whole Wheat or Multi-Grain taste.  Best of all they have some substance to them.  They have chew.

Uses

Go ahead, use them any way you'd use sliced bread.  We love them with burgers, tuna, egg and chicken salads.  They toast up very well and toasting seems to amplify their taste and add to the chew.

Being pre-sliced, they fit the toaster perfectly and they are quick and convenient when I'm making my daughter's sandwich school lunch.

My Viewpoint

At about $2.99 for a package of 8, the cost seems reasonable and competitive with packaged bread.  We found them.  We love them.  They are now part of our sandwich routine.  Try them.  I have a feeling you're going to like them.
