What it is

Wheat bread is a type of bread made primarily from wheat flour. Wheat is a cereal grain that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The flour is mixed with water, yeast (or another leavening agent), and often salt, then baked to create a leavened loaf.

Why it's used

Wheat bread is a staple food used as a base for sandwiches, toast, and as a side dish. Manufacturers use it for its texture, flavor, and ability to absorb moisture, making it versatile in many prepared meals and baked goods.

Health notes

Wheat bread is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes wheat flour used in bread as safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated wheat and its components. While whole wheat bread is often recommended for its higher fiber and nutrient content, refined wheat bread can be a significant source of carbohydrates.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
