How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole wheat bread, enriched wheat bread has had some of the natural nutrients removed during milling and then added back. This often results in a lighter color and a softer texture than 100% whole wheat varieties. The flavor is generally milder, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a less robust wheat taste.

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.
