White bread is a type of bread made from refined wheat flour, which has had the bran and germ removed during processing. This results in a soft texture and a light color. White bread is commonly used for sandwiches, toast, and various baked goods. Due to the refining process, white bread has a longer shelf life compared to whole grain breads. However, it is often criticized for being lower in nutrients and fiber. Many people enjoy its mild flavor, making it a popular choice for breakfast and lunch options.
