wheat breads

Tan sandwich slices

Wheat breads are breads made with wheat flour, though the term usually implies whole wheat or whole grain varieties rather than refined white flour, which is also wheat.

The phrase appears on menus and in bakeries to distinguish darker, heartier loaves from plain white bread: I'll have the turkey on wheat.
