## How can seed choices in bread contribute to a gut-friendly meal?

Seed choices can make bread more gut-friendly mostly because they’re an easy way to bump up **fiber**, and fiber is what helps support a more diverse, healthier gut microbiome. At Alloy, we talk a lot about “feeding” your good gut microbes with plant foods, and seeds are a simple way to do that in something as everyday as toast or a sandwich. More fiber is also tied to better digestion and more regular bowel movements.

If you want to make that bread-based meal even more gut supportive, pairing it with probiotic foods can help too, think sourdough with seeds, plus something fermented on the side (or on top). Here’s the exact clip where we show this idea with seeded sourdough, and then adding kimchi and miso to bring in probiotics: [Everyday Tips for Great Gut Health - Diet & Probiotic Foods](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNe0Rv-KNJk&t=11s)
