Here are valuable points about bread.
1. Putting bread in the fridge will actually make
it go stale quicker. Bread from the grocery store
will stay fresh for 2 to 4 days if you leave it on
the counter. Bakery bread, which usually has
fewer preservatives, will keep 1 to 3 days. If
you want to store bread for a longer, put it in
the freezer. It will stay fresh for 2 to 3 months.
2. Eating too much bread can raise your BP. If
you eat toast in the morning, a sandwich at
lunch, and a roll with dinner, you're not just
loading up on carbohydrates. You're also
eating a lot of salt. A single slice of bread isn't
high in salt. But eating bread several times a
day adds up. Too much salt raises blood
pressure. It can put you at risk of heart attack
or stroke.
3. Do you see green or black fuzzy spots on the
piece of bread you're about to throw into the
toaster? Toss out the whole loaf! Don't just
throw away the pieces with the mold. That's
because the mold may have spread to other
parts of the loaf. There are a few different kinds
of mold that pop up on bread. The blue-gray-
green fuzzy mold is the same fungus that can
produce penicillin.
4. Fiber from whole grains helps reduce
cholesterol and may lower the risk of heart
disease. Nutrients in whole grains help your
body form red blood cells and keep your
immune system healthy.
5. Eating whole-grain bread can help you
manage your weight. The fiber in whole-grain
breads can make you feel full longer and help
you control your weight. But that doesn't mean
you can have as much bread as you'd like. To
lose weight, eat less, exercise more, and eat
healthy foods.

Very informative, the freezer part is quite surprising.

Bread 511...lol thanks op esp the freezeer part. How about when I see some black spots on the bread? Why should bread from grocery last more than the bread from bakery. Always thought otherwise

Interesting......

And all my life, I've had the impression that the fridge preserves it for much longer...#FML

Op, source?

So long as I can't see the mold everywhere, my bread is still fresh. All I just have to do is cut off the fungus-infested area.
