What it is
This is a loaf of bread made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel. This means it retains more of the natural components of the grain compared to refined white flour. The bread is baked and sliced, ready for various culinary applications. It is a common staple in many households.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, 100% whole wheat bread has a denser texture and a more robust, slightly nutty flavor due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. White bread is made from flour where the bran and germ have been removed, resulting in a lighter texture and milder taste.
