Multigrain bread
Nutty and slightly sweet, denser and chewier than plain white bread.
Lens analyzedMultigrain bread is baked with a mix of grains, wheat, oats, barley, flax, and others depending on the recipe, giving it a denser crumb and nuttier flavor than plain white bread. The specific grains used vary a lot by brand, so multigrain describes a category more than one fixed recipe.
Where it comes from
Bread bakers have combined grains for texture and to use what's on hand for as long as bread has existed, and the modern multigrain label is largely a marketing category built on that older, more practical habit of mixed-grain baking.
Buying it
Read the ingredient list rather than trusting the word multigrain alone, since it doesn't guarantee whole grains, some multigrain breads lean mostly on refined flour with a few grains added.
Storing it
The counter or a bread box suits it better than the fridge, which actually speeds up staling; plan to finish the loaf within a week.
Keeps about 5 days in the pantry.
