silly question do you eat your bread crusts

[Nick12]

some times i eat the bread crusts and some times i dont

 

[Rodafina]

Yes, always. I enjoy that part.

 

[MyLifeAsAnAspie]

Yes I do. But I've been making wrap sandwiches lately.

 

[Kelsay]

I usually peel off the crust and eat it first, saving the rest for last lol

 

[AutisticMilly]

I eat the crust nowadays, but as a kid I refused to do it.

 

[Luca]

Even as an adult, I cut the crust off my sandwiches lol.
I do eat pizza crust though and I think it's one of the best parts of the pizza.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

Nothing beats the crusty chewyness of a good baguette.

 

[Slim Jim]

Never.

 

[SusanLR]

If it is a really good, soft multigrain bread--sometimes I eat it.
Otherwise, no. Never would.

I have a sensitive reaction to how food textures feel in my mouth.
Also dislike little red bits in food. Usually that is peppers cut up.
The look is a turn off to me.

im in this mindset

 

[FlowerFlo]

I love most crust.
Some german wholegrain bread has things like pumkin seeds and sunflower seeds on the crispy crust. This is the best crust i have ever eaten

Scientific studies have investigated whether the crusts of bread contain more nutrients than the moist, springy interior. The short answer is: yes, bread crusts do contain more nutrients. The reason for this is that the baking process causes the exterior of the bread to become firmer and more browned. This chemical baking process also results in changes to the nutrients in the crust of bread.

A 2002 research study from the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that compared to the pale inside of a piece of bread, the crust contained eight times as much pronyl-lysine. Pronyl-lysine is an antioxidant that may reverse cellular damage, possibly lowering risk for cancer. The crust of bread also contains more dietary fiber than the insides.

Still even with this scientific revelation. There's no way I'm going to eat anything other than that 'moist, springy interior.' At this point , it would just feel strange. I don't care if it has more nutrients, is ant-cancer, is the secret elixir of life. I just can't change a lifetime habit.

LOL...me too! When I was a kid I was quite finicky about having my bread crusts removed. Mom didn't seem to mind.

Yet as an adult, I stopped cutting off the crust and never looked back. Go figure.
