Shite white. I try to avoid it. It isn't even a guilty pleasure
In the US, we just call it "bread." You have to go to an entire different section of the grocery store to find something approaching good.
Or make it yourself. Factory bread is awful relative to actual good bread.
Most times you have to go to a completely different store to get good bread. We go to our local farmers market and get homemade sourdough bread and this great local bakery for fancier bread.
I never buy white either. I am worried, some of us are though, that more chemicals could be present on the whole wheat as the endosperm that is the white part is coated with the germ and whatever?
Even people I know that used to eat whole grains now almost all eat white, not because of chemical concerns either, I don't get it.
