Are there more vitamins in bread crust and/or the heel than in a slice of bread without the crust? Or is it a wives' tale?

Absolutely an old wives tale.
Probably to get the kids to eat the crusts since nobody likes that part.
However there ARE more vitamins & nutrients in potato skins and the skins of fruits like apples and stuff...

It's a myth. That is why Smuckers makes "Uncrustable" sandwhiches.
It probably was made up so that children would eat the crust, a lot of them seem not to like it. As a child, I didn't eat crust either. I'm unsure of when I started, but anyway, vitamins are in the entire slice of bread, not just the crust. :)

I think it is an old wives tale, one that I've never heard of. Maybe someone said it so their child would eat the heels and the crust of the bread. I hope that I have been some help to you.

Actually, it's only kind of a myth. I don't have any information about vitamin content, but the antioxidant content is much higher in the crust/heel. Check this out: www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2002-11/acs-bca110402.php

Myth. The vitamins are spreaded throughout the bread.

It might be myth but bread crust does make your hair more curly

it's a myth, nutrients do not concentrate just on the crust...
