The Benefits of Multigrain Pizza Crust

June 15, 2024 Healthy Options By Freshslice Nutrition Team

At Freshslice Pizza, we're committed to providing options that not only taste great but can also be part of a balanced diet. One of our most popular innovations is our multigrain pizza crust, which offers numerous health benefits without sacrificing the delicious pizza experience you love.

What Makes Our Multigrain Crust Special?

Unlike traditional pizza crusts made solely from refined white flour, our multigrain crust incorporates a variety of whole grains, seeds, and unrefined flours. This combination provides a robust, nutty flavor profile and a satisfying texture that many of our customers actually prefer over conventional crusts.

Our signature blend includes:

  • Whole wheat flour
  • Oat flour
  • Flaxseeds
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Millet
  • Quinoa

Nutritional Benefits

The nutritional advantages of choosing our multigrain crust are significant:

1. Higher Fiber Content

Our multigrain crust contains approximately 3 times the dietary fiber of standard pizza crust. This added fiber helps you feel satisfied longer, aids digestion, and contributes to gut health.

2. Complex Carbohydrates

The whole grains in our crust provide complex carbohydrates that release energy more slowly, helping to maintain steady blood sugar levels rather than causing spikes that can lead to energy crashes later.

3. Essential Nutrients

Whole grains retain their bran and germ, which contain important nutrients including B vitamins, iron, magnesium, selenium, and other minerals that are often removed in refined flours.

4. Heart-Healthy Fats

The seeds in our multigrain blend provide omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial fats that support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Did you know? Consuming at least 3 servings of whole grains daily may reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 22% according to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The Taste Factor

Some people worry that healthier options mean compromising on taste, but our multigrain crust proves this doesn't have to be the case. The blend of grains creates a delightful complexity of flavor that actually enhances many of our topping combinations.

The slight nuttiness of the crust pairs exceptionally well with:

  • Mediterranean toppings like feta, spinach, and olives
  • Vegetable-forward combinations
  • Spicy toppings like our jalapeños and spicy chicken
  • Sweet and savory combinations like our BBQ chicken pizza

Making the Switch

If you haven't tried our multigrain crust yet, there's never been a better time. You can substitute multigrain crust on any of our signature pizzas for a small additional charge, or select it when building your own custom creation.

For those who are typically resistant to "healthier" options, we suggest starting with a pizza that has robust flavors that complement the heartier crust – our Spicy Chicken or Mediterranean pizzas are excellent gateway choices.
