About White bread

White bread is a staple food commonly found in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in Western diets. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, it is often enriched with nutrients like iron and B vitamins to replace some lost during processing. The refinement process removes the bran and germ from the wheat grain, resulting in a softer texture and longer shelf life but reducing fiber and certain nutrients. While white bread offers quick energy due to its high glycemic index, its lack of dietary fiber can lead to faster spikes in blood sugar compared to whole-grain options. Enjoyed in sandwiches, toast, or as a side to meals, white bread remains popular for its versatility despite being considered less nutritious than whole-grain bread. Choosing versions with added fiber and nutrients can help improve its health profile.
