About Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared
Commercially prepared 100% whole-wheat bread uses the entire wheat kernel - bran, germ, and endosperm - rather than stripping away the nutritious outer layers. The fiber content is genuinely high for a bread, protein is solid, and the fat is modest. This is one of the better everyday bread choices nutritionally: the bran and germ contribute fiber, minerals, and B vitamins that refined bread lacks even after enrichment. Expect a denser crumb and earthier flavor than white or wheat blends.
