mushroom and chopped basil.
Whole Wheat Bread Information
Like nearly all bread, “wheat bread” is made from wheat flour, and not
necessarily from whole-wheat flour. Whole-wheat bread is made from the entire wheat
kernel, including bran and germ.
Varieties
Whole-wheat bread is available in rolls and loaves of various shapes and sizes, and may
contain other grains.
Buying and storing tips
Buy whole-wheat bread in the bakery, bread, or refrigerated- or frozen-foods sections of
health food stores and supermarkets. Store in a breadbox or plastic bag at room temperature,
and use within a few days.
Availability
Whole-wheat bread is available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Top sliced whole-wheat bread with smoked mozzarella, grilled portobello mushroom, and
chopped basil, or make a sandwich of arugula
and grilled vegetables.
