Look at all the vitamins and minerals that have been added to this bread: Iron, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, folic acid, and vitamins B1, B6, B12, D, and E. If you want a nutritious food full of natural vitamins and minerals, try a grilled steak (with butter and garlic), with a side of mashed potatoes (with heavy cream and butter), and steamed vegetables.
