Have you heard of, or experienced yourself, a difference in digestibility of bread or pasta in Europe vs the US? Before you forgo American wheat products check out this article.

Many of factors can influence digestibility, including what happens in the field, mill, and bakery. For example, glyphosate (Roundup), which is widely banned in Europe, can be used as a desiccant on wheat prior to harvest in the US. The residual glyphosate can be problematic in the digestive tract. Trying different varieties of wheat and sourdough breads may also change the digestibility of wheat.
