Bread always looks very tempting, and it's also quite tricky to classify. So, what are the key points to consider when buying bread? Let's compare and see which common mistakes you might be making.
Health Value: A Closer Look
◆By Purpose: Can be divided into "staple bread" and "pastry bread".
◆By Texture: Can be divided into 4 categories: "soft bread", "crust bread", "flaky bread", and "hard bread".
◆By Ingredients: Can be divided into 3 types: white bread, whole wheat bread, and multi-grain bread.
In terms of calories, crust bread with its crispy crust has the lowest calories. This type of bread is not sweet and contains very little sugar, salt, and oil. After baking, the crust is crispy and hard, and it's very delicious eaten while still warm.
French staple bread and Russian "borodinsky" belong to this category, and their nutritional value is roughly similar to steamed buns.
Hard and soft breads both add ingredients like eggs, sugar, milk, and oil, with the only difference being the amount of water added. "Toast bread", "cream bread", and most decorative pastry breads that children love are all soft breads. Soft sweet bread contains about 15% sugar and 10% oil, with toast bread containing even more. However, because eggs and milk powder are added, the nutritional value is also increased, making it suitable for children.
