whole wheat bread

Brown sandwich base

Whole wheat bread is bread made from flour that includes the entire wheat kernel—bran, germ, and endosperm—rather than refined white flour with the bran and germ removed.

It has a denser texture, nuttier flavor, and darker color than white bread: I'll take my sandwich on whole wheat bread.
