Pay attention to freshness when purchasing:

The shelf life will be marked on the bread packaging: "2-3 days in the second and third quarters (spring and summer), 4-5 days in the first and fourth quarters (autumn and winter)". When shopping, be sure to choose bread that is as fresh as possible. If you buy it when it is about to expire, you should eat it immediately to avoid letting the bread expire and grow moldy at home. If the mall is having a sale, keep your eyes open to see if it is close to expiration!

You must know that many food companies often do some tricks to "advance the production date" in order to extend the sales time of their products. If you are greedy for cheap and buy bread that is about to expire, and you can't finish it in a day or two at home, you will be in a dilemma: throw it away, which is a pity; eat it slowly, and it is very unsafe.

This type of bread can not only help reduce blood fat, but also relieve constipation. Especially when you take bread as part of your breakfast, you should pay more attention to the importance of good hard bread for good health.
