DID YOU KNOW?
The Bread Box had been used to keep bread fresh for longer periods of time.
- Traditionally it was made from wood and helped to protect the bread from pests like ants and flies.
- The lid fit loose enough to allow air flow which reduced condensation and prevented mold
- The Bread Box helped keep contents at room temperature
- Putting bread in the fridge speeds up the staling process
- Freezing bread halts the staling process
and..... here's the interesting one
- Bread Boxes are not commonly used anymore because the preservatives that are used in bread now and the plastic packaging cause the staling process to slow way down. (disturbing, right?)
So, here's the deal. Bread Boxes can help reduce the clutter on your counter and are the perfect storage solution for your breads especially if they are Organic or Homemade.
