Introduction to Diversity Bread™
Diversity Bread™ is the name that we call our approach to the making of our bread.
Diversity Bread aligns with the Baking as Lifestyle Medicine (BALM) protocol (Note that BALM outlines our full holistic process that includes how to eat bread for optimal health that includes symbiotic eating and sequenced eating and sharing bread.)
The concept of Diversity Bread™ encompasses a multi-dimensional perspective, emphasising the importance of diversity in ingredients, environmental sustainability, and nutritional benefits. Professor David Veale aptly summarises this approach as a cornerstone of nutritional psychiatry, reflecting a deep understanding of how food can influence mental and physical well-being.
Diversity Bread is fermented and uses a botanical blend of flour, porridge, and live probiotic finishes…

The Diversity Bread™? Blocks
Diversity Bread™ is structured around four key blocks and fermenting bread. All Diversity bread and bakes are fermented, and each block below contributes to the bread’s overall nutritional and sensory profile. These blocks are designed to layer nutrition and diversity to support the gut microbiome, health, and the environment at every stage of the baking process.
- Botanical Blend Flour – Diversity good for the gut and the environment
- Seaweed & sea salt – for better mineral sources
- Porridge – enhanced polyphenols, moisture and nutrition, better-keeping qualities
- Probiotic Live Finishes – gut health & enhanced digestive support
Diversity Bread™? is pioneering using probiotic finishes, setting a new standard for health-supporting bread.
Diversity Bread™ is not just a method but a philosophy of baking that integrates comprehensive nutritional and environmental principles. Each block within this framework plays a crucial role in creating a bread that supports both physical and mental health. This approach, grounded in extensive research and development, exemplifies the principles of the BALM protocol and offers a blueprint for making truly nourishing bread. The trademarked process of Diversity Bread™ ensures that this innovative method remains consistent and effective, providing significant benefits to both bakers and consumers.
