DAY-OLD BREAD
Dough, a Deer - Born Again Week
If 10,000 Biter families of four eat all the unspoiled food they typically throw away, in a year we'll save a collective $6 million.
On the run from the Third Reich and got seven little mouths to feed? That will bring us back to...day-old bread. Instead of tossing the stale stuff, whip up some delicious bread pudding, bruschetta, soufflé, or French toast. It's a drop of golden sun for your palate.
The Benefits
  • Less trash = a high note. Less bread means less bread packaging, and even though bread's biodegradable, the bags will take years to decompose in a landfill, where light, moisture, and bacteria are scarce.
  • Eating on a nun's wages. At the store, day-old bread costs a third to half as much as fresh bread.
  • Tastes worth singing about. No, really.

Personally Speaking
Heather uses day-old bread to make a mean bruschetta - just don't tell her to call it "brew-SHEH-tuh."


Wanna Try?
Check for mold (which isn't good for birds either, BTW) before you use it.


You can often tell which day of the week a bread loaf was baked by the color of its plastic twist tag. (Colors depend on region and store.)
