Did you know that pizza made at Pepperoni’s is not only delicious but also good for the body?
Of course, we all know that pizza is a popular food item that is enjoyed by people all over the world. The base of the pizza is made from dough, which is traditionally made from wheat flour. However, not all wheat flour is created equal, and the type of flour used can have a significant impact on the nutritional value and health benefits of the pizza.
“Using 100% natural, untreated, never bleached or bromated, wheat flour to make pizza can provide a range of health benefits.” states Pepperoni’s founder, Ray Salti, “At Pepperoni’s, we’ve been doing this for as long as we can remember and it’s time everyone knows why!”
One of the main benefits of using natural wheat flour for making pizza at Pepperoni’s is that it contains a high amount of fiber. Fiber is an essential nutrient that promotes healthy digestion and helps to lower the risk of various chronic diseases. Natural wheat flour is high in insoluble fiber, which adds bulk to the stool and prevents constipation. It also contains soluble fiber, which helps to lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar levels.
Another benefit of using natural wheat flour for making Pepperoni’s pizza is that it contains a range of essential vitamins and minerals. Natural wheat flour is a good source of B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, which are important for energy production, brain function, and healthy skin. It also contains minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, which play a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, a healthy immune system, and a healthy metabolism.
Using natural wheat flour for making pizza at Pepperoni’s also means that the flour is untreated, never bleached or bromated. Many commercial brands of flour are treated with chemicals to improve their shelf life and appearance. Bleached flour is treated with chlorine gas to make it appear whiter and more appealing. However, these treatments can strip the flour of its natural nutrients and may even leave behind harmful residues.
Natural wheat flour is also free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Many commercial brands of flour are made from genetically modified wheat, which has been altered to be resistant to herbicides and pesticides. However, the long-term effects of consuming GMOs are not yet fully understood, and there are concerns that they may have negative impacts on human health.
We know that using 100% natural, untreated, never bleached or bromated, wheat flour for making our pizza can provide a range of health benefits. As such, we are excited to share that pizza can be a nutritious and healthy meal that is not only delicious but also good for the body. Our founder is emphatic when he states, “At Pepperoni’s, we will not compromise health benefits and high quality for low costs. Our mission has been steadfast to provide the highest quality pizza possible at a fair value. I am proud we have been able to do so for over 33 years!"
