Will These “Foods” Ever Expire?

[littlefordschoolhouse]

I will tell you that in our 3rd grade homeschool class, we did an experiment to watch mold grow and used a slice of homemade bread, and a slice of store bought.
The homemade piece molded after only a few days. Even after 3 months, the store bought one didn't. We even tried misting it with water, and in a darker warm area. We stopped buying bread a long time ago. 🤢

He's right. Bread that isn't moldy in a few days is full of preservatives. Any baker will know this.

You're not going to have bread again? You don't have to buy the cheap unhealthy junk bread. You can always get healthy bread made from whole grains from bakeries. It will cost more, though.

[fieraci]

You can bake your own bread. As often as you want. It takes practice and is not that hard.

[mystifiedoni]

I've been trying to figure out your point. I guess it's that ALL bread sold at the supermarket has preservatives in them. Is rotting faster a good thing in your opinion?

[jeffotken]

As a person who likes making breads of various kinds, real bread should only be good about 5-7 days, and after that, there should be mold. That's the natural course of things.

Alright everyone, Purge your pantries from bread. Its all bad. Follow this guys example such a great dad sheeping his daughter
(( if yall didnt get it thats sarcasm ))

I get what youre trying to show us and agree 100% but the lack of mold isnt an indication of anything. If I leave a home made tortilla out on my counter it will petrify before it molds; the surface area of the tortilla allows for water to leave it easily. Salt, sugar, fat content, and the presence of fresh air, also play a big role on how and why something molds or not.

I haven't eaten foods made from cereal grains for several years. I don't even notice I don't have them any more. My health improved immensely when I stopped eating that stuff.
True bread will go mouldy within a week or two.
To quote the movie Motal Engines. "The food of the ancients lasts forever".

[deanwalker]

No, that's generally the "best before date" meaning it's still good after that time as long as its sealed.

Also, your daughter hasn't realised anything, you've literally told her what she should be thinking. 😂

[BartholomewReginaldIII]

It's a best by date, not an expiration date

[DamianBurns-zu]

That’s the best by date not the expiration date. Just saying when that food is going to be peak quality and after that date is when you start having to watch for mold. Or if it’s been open for a while

[opportunisticinvader]

They are not expiration dates they are sell by dates, but yes they are not good for you

[gadgehamilton]

To be fair the composition of those "breads" may be so different from standard bread your typical molds don't want to eat it, and so dry protein eating bacteria can't thrive. Doesn't mean it's safe to eat. SOMETHING is thriving in it, even if you can't see it.

[jimbojombo]

What about fresh bread from the bakery??

[clinthennessee]

Get ezekiel bread...in the freezer section real grains and NO SUGAR. FYI it will mold FAST.

[wyattearth]

This is because the products have preservatives, not because theyre not food. Its unhealthy because of those preservatives. If you want to eat bread that doesnt have preservatives, buy your bread from a bakery.

[pokiblue]

what about homemade loaf bread ? and making your own tortillas ? 🧐 are those good ?

[rickyholt]

Bread and grains are bad, my son and i both get really sick from them. Even if it's artisan style bread. I'm happy on my ketovore diet.
