Cracked Wheat Sandwich Buns
What it is
These sandwich buns are made with cracked wheat, which is whole wheat that has been broken into pieces. This process helps to retain more of the wheat's natural goodness. The buns have a slightly coarser texture compared to standard white buns. They offer a wholesome base for a variety of sandwiches.
