The greatest thing\u00a0… sliced bread? Really?!<\/p>\n

Absolutely not, and\u00a0we will\u00a0explain why.<\/p>\n

Sliced bread has been around for less than a century. The first automatically sliced commercial loaves were produced in 1928 in Missouri, using a machine invented by a guy from Iowa. The invention caught on, because consumers loved the convenience of sliced bread. But they weren\u2019t told that this \u201cprogress\u201d came at a high cost – akin to a deal with the devil\u00a0– in the shape of\u00a0big scale introduction of preservatives and additives into formerly pure bread.<\/p>\n

The bread\u2019s crust is very important for keeping moisture and flavor inside the bread loaf. Once the crust is cut, both disappear quickly. The bread slicers overcame this\u00a0inconvenience – you guessed right – by\u00a0stuffing the bread with preservatives.<\/p>\n

How come sliced bread from grocery stores feels moist and doesn’t get moldy, even though it\u2019s been sitting on shelves for weeks? The answer is that it\u2019s crammed with preservatives and chemicals. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Just take a look at the ingredient list on a typical loaf of sliced\u00a0bread,\u00a0which is truly remarkable: Wheat Flour, Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup or Sugar, Yeast, Contains 2% or Less of: Ferrous Sulfate (Iron), B Vitamins (Niacin, Thiamine Mononitrate (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Folic Acid), Barley Malt, Soybean Oil, Salt, Calcium Carbonate (Ingredient in Excess of Amount Present in Regular Enriched White Bread), Wheat Gluten, Dough Conditioners (Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Mono and Diglycerides, Calcium Dioxide, Datem and\/or Azodicarbonamide) Vitamin D3. Calcium Sulfate, Vinegar, Yeast Nutrients (Monocalcium Phosphate, Dicalcium Phosphate, Ammonium Sulfate, Ammonium Phosphate and\/or Ammonium Chloride) Cornstarch, Wheat Starch, Soy Flour, Whey, Calcium Propionate (to Retain Freshness), Soy Lecithin.<\/em><\/p>\n

Compare that to the ingredients in a loaf of authentic German artisan bread: Water, rye, wheat, salt, yeast, barley malt, spices. That’s it! Simple and natural. The acid from rye sourdough acts like a natural preservative and keeps mold away.\u00a0That made bread shelf stable\u00a0when people\u00a0had no fridges.<\/p>\n

You be the judge: Which one do you think is better for you?<\/p>\n

So, the next time someone tells you \u201cthis is the best since sliced bread\u201d, you know better. If slicing bread seems like an effort,\u00a0perhaps it helps to know that you are doing something good for your health. With a good bread knife and the right technique, slicing is easy: Saw gently back and forth with soft pressure cutting slices about 1\/2″ thick. Use the free hand to press the top of the crust together to avoid crumbling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
