When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness?
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie.
They are:
Monday = Blue
Tuesday = Green
Thursday = Red
Friday = White
Saturday = Yellow.
So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)!
The colors go alphabetically by color: Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow....Monday through Saturday, Very easy to remember.
So, next time you are looking for fresh bread...don't squeeze it, just look at the twist tie color!
Thanks for another great tip. I had heard this before, years ago, but had long forgot about it.

I almost never buy bread, always make my own, but, however, this information is like the best ever. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteNatalie,
It does depend on what bread you buy and where you live. Not all stores/breads do this unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThat is good info Char. I am a squeezer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this reminder. I knew they meant different days but couldn't remember which color was what day. Thanks for the tip to remind us how to keep it in our heads.
