How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole wheat bread, this white bread has a softer texture and a less pronounced flavor. The enrichment process adds certain nutrients back into the flour after milling. Its lighter color is a result of the milling process that removes the bran and germ from the wheat kernel.

Home cooks and families often choose this bread for its familiar taste and ease of use in everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. Properly stored, it will maintain its softness for several days.
