Tag: Toasting bread nutrition

According to nutrition experts, a widely held belief that toasting bread reduces its calories is a myth. This holds true for ciabatta as well; toasting it does not meaningfully change the total caloric content, though it does affect its texture and flavor.

Despite a widespread belief, toasting a slice of bread does not significantly reduce its calorie content. The primary change that occurs during the toasting process is the removal of water, which leaves the main caloric components—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—largely intact.
