WHAT DOES THE LABEL ON YOUR BREAD MEAN?

Do you get confused when you go to the bread aisle?  Here is a little breakdown on what the "title" on your bread means.

  • White Bread - This bread is made from refined white flour with nutrients such as iron, calcium, and several of the B vitamins restored.
  • Wheat Bread - Usually made from refined white flour, although it may contain varying amounts of whole-wheat flour, bran, and other ingredients.
  • Whole-Wheat Bread - Mostly made from whole-grain wheat flour.  But unless the label says, "100% Whole Wheat," such bread may still contain some refined white flour.
  • High Fiber Bread - Usually made from white wheat flour with the addition of other grains.
Personally, I only buy bread that is labeled 100% Whole Wheat or 100% Whole Grain to be sure I am getting the needed whole grains and fiber.
