Do bread butts/ends/heels/whatever you call them have

[Guest]

Fewer or more calories? Fewer or more fibre?  Do they have more nutrients in general?

 

I am wondering this now but would like to start eating them if they have more fibre, in our house nobody eats the buttends of bread loafs and we just save it to give it to the local ducks later.

its exactly the same just have more crust per square unit of volume I like em

[Enderman]

its bread

same with the rest of the loaf

 

the only difference is that its got more toasted surface area

[TheKDub]

Erm, I'd guess its pretty much the same as a normal slice, just smaller.

Are you sure? I don't suspect it's exactly the same.

[thekeemo]

Are you sure? I don't suspect it's exactly the same.

it just has more crust per normal inside stuff and cooked slightly more because its smaller but thats it

Have you ever made bread? It's the same thing, it's just more toasted

No, have you ever made bread?

 

But okay if everybody says so.

It has more calories, a small amount so it doesn't really make any difference.

(at least as far as I know)

 

no wait... maybe it's the opposite

It's the same dough of flour, water, yeast and salt (assuming you aren't taking some fanceh bread with flavours and cereals)

[ForsakenLive]

It's the same as the rest of the bread, but just more toasted. You make the dough and throw it in the pan, that's all, no added stuff. Same dough, same bread.

If instead of using a silicon or equally non-sticky bread pan, you use a regular pan and add oils to prevent it from sticking, then it's likely going to have more calories, not more nutrients.

[Guest]

Well, that's dependent on the amount of bread in the slice of crust... It has the same calorie density if that's what you mean. It's just toasted more from being in contact with the tin.

[DavidTheWin]

The difference is small enough to not make a difference. Calories are all an estimate anyway. Each end slice of bread is slightly different, on average I doubt it differs significantly from a normal slice of bread. You might be 2 calories out which isn't even a single percentage of a normal adult male's daily intake.

[Guest]

Allllright then. Now I know.

I have. You just put some dough into a shape and warm it up.

the crust is the same as the inside. Just subjected to more heat.

As a person who  used   to bake hundreds of loaves of bread a day, it's the same thing.

[Misanthrope]

By the way you should try to make your own bread one day, I recommend it.

[Aphexx]

when I used to buy bread I'd save the heels ie let them dry out on the counter and save them to crumble up into meatloaf

 

now that I make my own bread none of it remains after a few hours.

[gcubed]

I don't have a clue as to the nutritional aspects of heels vs. the rest of the breadloaf, but I can tell you that it is a quite a bit easier to spread cold butter on them.
