About Slice of bread

A slice of bread is a staple food made primarily from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, often enriched with vitamins and minerals. Common to cuisines worldwide, it traces its origins back to ancient Egypt, where leavened bread was first developed. Nutritionally, bread provides carbohydrates, which serve as a primary energy source. Whole grain or whole wheat varieties are higher in fiber, supporting digestion and promoting satiety. Bread is also a modest source of protein and can contain essential B vitamins. However, white bread made from refined flour is lower in nutrients and fiber, offering less nutritional value. Some bread includes added sugar or sodium, which may be less ideal for those monitoring their intake. Choosing whole-grain options with minimal additives is a healthier choice, providing sustained energy, heart-health benefits, and improved gut health.
