Sourdough

Nutritionally close to other bread; the difference is the long fermentation, not extra vitamins.

Nutrition per portion

A bakery loaf freezes brilliantly, so slice it before it goes in
Day-old loaves are often discounted and toast better anyway

Keep it well: Cut-side down on a board for two days, or slice and freeze; the fridge just stales it faster.

Reach for it when the week brings:
