Fareway 100% Whole Wheat Bread
What it is
This is a loaf of 100% whole wheat bread from Fareway. It is baked with whole wheat flour, which means it includes the entire wheat kernel, including the bran and germ. This gives the bread a denser texture and a slightly nuttier flavor compared to bread made with refined white flour. It is a common pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Whole wheat bread is a versatile ingredient used in many everyday meals. It can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for various dishes.
- Sandwich base
- Toast for breakfast
- Breadcrumbs for coating
- French toast
This whole wheat bread can be used fresh from the package for sandwiches. For a warm treat, it toasts well in a toaster or under a broiler, offering a satisfying crunch. Sliced and cubed, it can be dried and processed into breadcrumbs for breading meats or vegetables. It also absorbs liquid well, making it suitable for dishes like bread pudding or savory strata. The hearty texture holds up well when dipped into soups or stews.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, 100% whole wheat bread has a richer, earthier flavor profile due to the inclusion of the entire wheat kernel. Its texture is typically denser and chewier. White bread is made from flour that has had the bran and germ removed, resulting in a lighter texture and milder taste.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families who enjoy a hearty, wholesome bread option often choose this product.
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 refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. If you will not use the entire loaf within a few days, consider freezing it for longer storage.
