Safeway Kitchens Crushed Wheat Sandwich Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of sandwich bread made with crushed wheat. Crushed wheat refers to whole wheat berries that have been broken into smaller pieces. This process can result in a bread with a slightly coarser texture and a more pronounced wheat flavor compared to bread made with finely ground whole wheat flour. The loaf is designed for everyday use, providing a base for a variety of meals and snacks. It comes pre-sliced for convenience.

This bread is ready to use straight from the package. It is ideal for making sandwiches, from simple ham and cheese to more elaborate creations. Toasting slices brings out a pleasant crispness and warmth, making them suitable for breakfast or as a side. It can also be cubed and used as croutons for salads or soups. For other uses, the bread can be dried and processed into breadcrumbs for coatings or binders.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, crushed wheat bread offers a more robust wheat flavor and a slightly chewier texture due to the larger wheat pieces. It differs from standard whole wheat bread by using visibly broken wheat berries, which can contribute to a more rustic feel and a distinct grain presence.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families looking for a flavorful and textured bread option for daily meals.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused portions in the original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing the bread to excessive heat or moisture. For longer storage, the loaf can be frozen, and slices can be separated and thawed as needed.
