Aldi's Crazy-Popular Bread Has Zero Net Carbs—but Is It Healthy?

What’s really in that bread that seems like it’s selling faster than the latest iPhone?

Step aside, whipped coffee and plant-based burgers.

When @Aldifindsforpresidentposted this announcement from her local Aldi, commenters went bananas.

“I am doing keto so every time I see it I stock up.

I have about 12 loaves in my freezer ,” one said.

Another chimed in to add, “Oh yes!

I eat a slice every day!

I was so happy to see it back last week.”

It has just a mild aftertaste, which we guess might be from one of the preservatives.

But isn’t bread a dough-n’t on the keto diet?

That’s it, and the entirehomemade bread recipewill probably cost you less than $1 in ingredients.
