Ok, talking about whole grain bread: so, what’s basically the difference between whole grain bread and whole wheat bread? And what’s healthier? I made some researchers, and discovered the following … man, it’s clear as a sunny day any bread made with one hundred percent whole grains, whether it’s whole wheat or whole grain, is the most nutritious option. But be careful, just because a label says “whole grain” doesn’t guarantee that the product contains exclusively whole grains, DESU! The best way to learn about your loaf is to look at the stamps on the front of the packaging. If it bears the 100% stamp, then all of its grain ingredients are whole. They say'n'write these loafs also contain at least 16 grams (one full serving) of whole grain per serving. If it bears the basic stamp, it contains at least 8 grams (a half serving) of whole grains per serving, but may also contain some refined grain. If you’re going to eat the loaf quickly, your best choice is a bakery-fresh loaf of whole grain bread, imho. But you can still make a healthy choice among packaged breads. In addition to being 100 % whole grain, “healthy bread” should contain at least 3 grams of fiber, less than 200 mg of sodium, and less than 2 grams of sugar per slice. Moreover, focus your intentions on nutrient density and ingredient quality instead of calories alone. Avoid artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives whenever possible.

Btw, while bakery loafs last for two to three days (a few more if toasted), packaged breads stay fresh for a week or two (toss at any signs of mold), and can be frozen for up to three months. The best method to determine freshness is to look at the sell-by date. Most people agree that packaged bread’ll still be fresh about one week past the sell-by date, though it depends on the brand and the presence or lack of preservatives.
