The granddaddy of all sandwich breads, white bread is practically an American icon—the bookends housing a lunchtime PB&J, the slice upon which butter is slathered, the mop for all the barbecue juices and sauce pooled beneath a meaty stack. White bread comes from white flour, which is the result of milling once the bran and germ are removed from the wheatberry. This process removes the natural oils found in wheatberries, which allows for a longer shelf-life, as it's the oils found in the bran and germ that go rancid first. This also means that white bread lacks the nutritional benefits found in breads using whole grains.

Technically, multigrain bread is made from at least two different grains—think oat, barley, millet, flax, etc. However, this doesn't mean whole grains are always used, so if seeking a nutritional boost from multigrain bread, be sure to check the label to ensure that whole grains were used and the the bread does in fact pack in more nutrients.

Without the rye berry, there would be no rye bread—and without rye bread, there would be no Reuben sandwich. And if you've ever had a Reuben, you know that a world without this classic sandwich would be a travesty of epic proportions! Okay, okay... maybe that's stretching it, but rye bread is among a category of breads that should be deemed "unforgettable." There's a wide range when it comes to rye bread, as varying levels of color, texture and even flavor are dependent on the amount of rye flour used as well as which part of the grain is milled. Most sliced rye bread found in supermarkets also contains caraway seeds, which add another distinctive level of flavor. Crispbreads, a popular northern European snack resembling a crispy flatbread, are often made using rye flour.

Unlike most leavened breads that include commercial yeast found in the baking aisle, sourdough is made from entirely wild yeast, which feeds and grows on a water-flour combination known as a "starter." Wild yeast requires more time for dough to rise, compared to commercial yeast, and the process results in the signature "sour" flavor beloved by sourdough-lovers everywhere. Essentially a white bread with a much more pronounced flavor, sourdough is known for having a crisp, crusty exterior and porous, fluffy interor.

Whole wheat bread is made from flour that uses just that—the whole wheatberry. This means that whole wheat bread boasts more nutritional value, as the flour is milled from the whole grain, which boasts more fiber and protein than flours milled without the bran or germ. Whole wheat bread also has a deeper, richer flavor than white bread.
