This really does sound wonderful, and considering how little wheat is actually in a loaf of bread probably was likely true.
Excuse me if I jump in here,,but I thought loaf of bread is 100% wheat?
If not,,whats else it consist of,,?percentage wise?
thnx
A farmer share of a loaf of bread is about a nickel, less if the price of wheat is down. A loaf of bread is about 60% wheat, depending on whether the bread is whole wheat or white.
