A few weeks ago I bought some whole wheat tortillas. Two days later I took them out to make a delicious wrap and what did I see but…. Green Mold… yuck! I felt cheated so I brought the tortillas back to the grocery store for a full refund.
This made me think… How can I tell which bread products are the freshest when I am at the store selecting…. Then I read this article…
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
So today being Thursday, I wanted a red twist tie - not white which is Friday (almost a week old?)
The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday thru Saturday. Very easy to remember. But I put a post-it note in my wallet when I first found out about this so I would not forget.
Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
So now you know.... check the twist ties. Happy shopping!
