How come rye bread is packaged so differently than wheat, white,
mutli-grain bread? Inquiring minds need to know. -Zz "Zz Yzx" rhymes with "physics"; or " Isaacs" if you prefer. http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/zzyzx_road.htm |

Softer lighter ryes are usually packed in plastic similar to white breads. Bakery fresh rye is usually package in paper bags. Fresh rye is arare commodity around here. The few times I have had it I was really, really impressed. |

What kind of white or multi-grain? It is rare to find 100% rye unless you go to a specialty bakery, such as German or Nordic. Sometimes you can find cocktail rye, though, in pre-packs at groceries. But most ryes available in groceries are mainly AP flour with some rye. Boron |

What I mean is this: store-bought rye bread is warpped in a crispy
kind of cellophane (?) with the ends folded over and sealed. White, wheat, &tc. are mostly wrapped in an inner plastic and then an outer plastic bag that is sealed with a plastic tab. Why? |

And Boron and Sqwetz, your replies appear as "no longer available" on
my Agent newsreader. I've been getting that a lot lately. Thanks though. |

This has to do with the store where you purchase your bread, not any specific bread practice. It might depend on whether the breads were baked in the store or received already baked, and if the latter, whether they arrived already wrapped. Boron |

The bread was made in Toronto, a few thousand miles away. The last time(2003)I was in Vancouver, I no longer found that bread, although the business is still operational. |

Our bread (can't speak for balloon bread and the other cheap stuff) is wrapped like your rye and then it's put into a plastic bag and closed with a tab. -- Tell congress not to censor the web.

You can often connect bodies with headers that way - but I pretty much gave up on APN because they are so out of sync. -- Tell congress not to censor the web.

I'm pretty sure the Jewish rye bread my father used to buy was in a paper bag, but that was a long time ago. Recently I picked up a loaf from Pittsburghs bread works. Tastes about the best I have had in a long time, and also has that rugged feel, thick crust. It came in a plastic bag. Greg |
