How it differs from similar foods
Compared to white bread, wheat bread typically has a heartier texture and a more pronounced, slightly earthy flavor due to the inclusion of whole wheat flour. This can also result in a darker color. The difference in flour content affects its overall taste profile and density.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after opening. Store the loaf at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. For longer storage, consider freezing the bread.
