H-E-B 100% Whole Wheat Bread is excellent for making sandwiches, whether for lunch or a light dinner. It toasts well, providing a slightly firmer and nuttier base for toppings like butter, jam, or avocado. You can also process the bread into crumbs to use as a coating for fried foods or as a binder in meatballs and meatloaf. For a weekend brunch, it makes a delicious base for French toast when soaked in an egg and milk mixture and then pan-fried.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, whole wheat bread has a denser texture and a more robust, slightly earthy flavor due to the presence of the entire wheat kernel. The bran and germ give it a darker color and a more substantial feel in the mouth.
