What's up with Rye bread ?

Question

Why does every loaf of Rye bread seem to have a wrapper that falls apart in your hands with every slice of bread removed from the loaf ?
Is it an unwritten law to put rye bread in a cheap wrapper that falls apart ?

Answer 1

I believe that rye bread goes bad alot faster than regular white/wheat bread...They use a cheap wrapper, cause they don't want to waste their profit on the plastic...good question

Answer 2

Rye bread are not the most often consumed type of bread. Also I would think that rye feels and tastes like it's been on the shelf as long as an MRE ration. So, maybe the wrapping is just as old.

Answer 3

That is a really funny question. Love it!
Sorry, don't have an answer or opinion--I don't like the caraway seeds in Rye bread.

Answer 4

I got some Wonder rye bread in a normal bread bag!!!! Have you ever toasted rye and put butter and grape jelly on it??? Yummmmy!!!

Answer 5

maybe its an ingredient in rye bread that clashes with the wrapper making it weaker.

Answer 6

Answer 8

What kind of rye bread do you get?

Answer 9

You have to get your rye from Schnitzer's. It's the only way. If you have to mug an old lady for it, so be it.
