White Bread – Good For You In Other Ways

For most of my early life, I ate sandwiches almost
exclusively on white bread, and wasn’t thrilled when whole wheat was the only
option, like when staying at a friend’s house. Thanks a lot, someone else’s
mom. Then everything changed. I went out into the world, learned about
nutrition, and fiber, and just how delicious a well made, whole-grain loaf
of bread could be.

Before I knew it, I was eating all my sandwiches exclusively
on wheat bread, and wasn’t thrilled when white was the only choice, like when visiting
a friend’s house. Thanks a lot, someone else’s wife. Now, I’ve reached a new
phase of my life, when I can enjoy, and appreciate them both. I mostly eat whole
grain breads, but occasionally will indulge in some white, which if we’re being
honest, really is a much more special bread eating experience, especially for
sandwiches.

Whether we’re talking tuna, or chicken salad, the buttery,
slightly sweet, but mostly neutral flavor of white bread really lets the main ingredients
shine, and I can now enjoy it almost guilt free. So, whether you’re a nostalgic
baby boomer like me, or just a curious millennial “wondering” what a classic
white bread tastes like, I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
