Review: Silver Hills Gluten Free Omega Flax Bread
While I am not the gluten-intolerant one of the group (sorry Jen <3), I am interested in gluten free products whenever possible, thanks to William Davis’ Book, Wheat Belly. Silver Hills has always been a favourite bread product of mine, and now they have two different gluten free options to explore: Gluten Chia Chia Bread and Gluten Free Omega Flax Bread.
What I like about it:
It has 5 grams of fibre per slice, 3 grams of protein, Omega 3 & 6, and is organic and non-gmo. It has the hearty, wholegrain flavour of the other Silver Hills products, and isn’t mealy or crumbly. AND, they’re local!
My only critique, and this goes for most gluten free breads…why are they such tiny loaves? I can hardly fit my steamed spinach on these miniature slices!

Enjoy!

I purchased this bread on March 10th, 2014 from Costco on Wilson Road Toronto. I paid $8.99 for it. And every single slice has sand it it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAND!
I’m so pissed off! I can’t believe there is NO quality control on these things, and people are getting turned off from healthy non-gmo options by sloppy quality controlled. And no, it wasn’t a case of bread being dropped on the floor, the sand (or grit) is in EVERY SLICE!
It is so frustrating to have to pay so much, have such a high expectation, and then have to deal with such horrible quality control.
I am going to return this bread to Costco and ask for my 8.99+TAX back!!!
Silver Hills Bakery, please, fix your quality control becaue this was my first experience with your product and it was HORRIFYING!!!
Sorry you had such a terrible experience Mike! I buy it regularly (sometimes from Costco) and have never had a problem. A letter to them letting them know what happened would be a good idea
Really Sand? Ive been buying the sprouted bagels for years never had a problem and recently started buying gluten free bread cuz i want to reduce gluten intake and no problem either their products are so amazing. I think it might be ground flax seeds that you received it sounds odd that you received sand?? You also pay more than i do so i recommend is you contact the company to find out whats up maybe get a free one or something…
I wish I could report I liked this bread. I really wanted to as I’ve recently gone gluten free but I tried it today and just ended up throwing it in the compost. It may have healthy ingredients, it may be gluten free but the mouth feel isn’t great for me and it’s way too sweet for my tastes. Also, if you’re a toast lover this really isn’t going to make you happy.
On another note, I like your blog very much.
I’ve found Udi’s to be the only bread that can be comparable to regular bread. I’ve tried over a dozen brands and besides the one’s we make ourselves, Udi’s is by far the best gluten free bread.
