Whole Wheat Bread = No Mold?

[edro]

Why does it seem that everytime I get a loaf of whole wheat or whole wheat nut bread, it lasts multiple weeks past the sell by date?

Yet... when I get white bread, it grows mold a week or so after the sell by date.

Perhaps the whole wheat bread just camoflages the mold, and I am in fact eating mold.

Or, maybe the white bread has more refined sugars, so the mold eats it sooner.

All I know is that my whole wheat bread lasts damn near a month and I love it.

My whole wheat bread doesn't last long enough to make any observations

Mine lasts forever in the fridge. It gets hard and crunchy but I like food that fights back... Roar!@

Yep same here, I've had bread in the fridge for over a month and it's still good.

I've seen whole wheat bread get moldy. It takes about 2 weeks in a bread box, but it does happen.

Yes it molds but like you have noticed it just seems to take a lot longer than traditional white bread. I have noticed this also.

it was not moldy when we threw it away.

my whole wheat bread gets moldy...putting it in the fridge rectifies this though.

More preservatives in the brand of whole wheat that you buy?

I never noticed it molding faster than white bread, but then again, my parents and I never buy white bread.
