spices, fruit (such as raisins,
pumpkin or bananas),
vegetables (like onion
or zucchini)

sesame or
poppy seeds), which are often used for decorative and flavoring purposes.
There are a wide variety of breads and preferred varieties often vary from

Fresh bread is prized for its taste and
texture, and retaining its freshness is important to keep it appetizing.
Bread that has stiffened or dried past its prime is said to be stale.
Today's modern bread is often wrapped in
paper or plastic film, or stored in airtight containers such as a breadbox
to keep it fresh longer. Bread that is kept in warm moist environments is
prone to the growth of mold. It actually becomes stale more quickly in the
low temperature of a refrigerator, although by keeping it cool, mold is less
likely to grow.
