Sliced bread is a staple food made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, with variations that may include sugar, oils, or preservatives to enhance flavor and freshness. Originating from ancient bread-making traditions, its pre-sliced form became popular in the 20th century, revolutionizing convenience in Western cuisine. Nutritionally, sliced bread is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and many options are fortified with essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Whole-grain or multigrain varieties offer added fiber and nutrients, supporting digestion and heart health. However, some white or heavily processed varieties can be low in nutrients and high in added sugars or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Sliced bread is versatile and can be paired with a variety of healthy toppings, making it an accessible option in balanced diets when chosen thoughtfully.
