About Bread, whole-wheat, prepared from recipe

Wheat bread, often labeled brown bread, is made with a meaningful share of whole-wheat flour, giving it a heartier texture, a nuttier flavor, and a darker crumb than plain white loaves. The key distinction is in the flour: true whole-wheat bread keeps the grain's bran and germ, which is where much of the fiber, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and healthy plant oils live. That extra fiber, roughly 2 to 3 grams a slice at about 70 to 90 calories, helps with fullness and digestion and slows the rise in blood sugar compared with refined bread.

Shoppers should read labels carefully, since some loaves tinted brown with molasses are mostly white flour; look for whole wheat listed as the first ingredient. It makes sturdy sandwiches, toast, and croutons. Keep wheat bread sealed at room temperature for several days, or freeze it, as its whole-grain oils shorten its shelf life.
