Select Breads 100% Whole Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of bread made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes all parts of the wheat kernel: the bran, the germ, and the endosperm. This results in a bread with a denser texture and a more robust flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common staple for sandwiches and toast.
How people cook with it
This bread is a versatile ingredient in many kitchens. It can be enjoyed simply or as a base for more complex dishes.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Crouton ingredient
- Bread pudding component
Toasted slices make an excellent base for breakfast toppings like butter, jam, or avocado. For sandwiches, it holds up well to a variety of fillings, from deli meats and cheeses to vegetables and spreads. It can also be cubed and baked to create croutons for salads or soups. Additionally, stale bread can be repurposed for bread pudding or stuffing, absorbing liquids and flavors beautifully.
How it differs from similar foods
This gives it a heartier texture and a nuttier taste. The color is also typically darker due to the presence of the bran.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. For longer storage, you can freeze the loaf or individual slices.
