        Just tells you the quality of the bread you’re buying.

          It means higher quality bread since it’s filled with life-supporting nutrients and doesn’t overdo it with the preservatives.

            Properly fermented dough becomes a preservative itself. Just like fermented vegetables do. Slapping some fancy label on a packaging doesn’t mean the bread was made properly.

      I watched a video about this actually - iirc bread made with more oil stays longer, and bread made with more water gets stale and mouldy more quickly

        Lol, no. The proper bread doesn’t get mouldy because it has low pH.
