The Truth of a Bread Loaf



Gardenia was part of our Life when we were young.
We Toast it with Planta & Sugar,
 or Spread with Peanut Butter or Nutella to Fill our stomach early in the morning.

HOWEVER do you know how they make their Bread?
What do they put inside?

Gardenia Bread are Considered Mass-Produced Breads
Mass Produced Breads = High Powered Machine + Chemical Maturing Agents
All done in less than an Hour *From Mixing, proofing, bakingWhere else a Traditional Bread takes about 2-3hour at least

High Powered Machine
- Able to produce very fine, cake like texture in short amount of time
- May cause slightly unpleasant, sour, sweat-like taste due to Intensive Mixing of Flour & Yeast Enzymes

Chemical Maturing Agents
- Able to Alter the Structure of the Dough
- Artificially Ripen the dough in short amount of time

Artificial Preservative
Calcium Propionate
- Common Preservative for Bread
- Not sure what's the down side but I do know Artificially Produced stuff are never good!
Here's a comment from the admin of http://gardenia.com.my/wordpress/

What's really ridiculous is they finally announced they used to use Artificial Preservative and now they Only Use Natural Preservative like Vinegar, Raisin Juice
"Gardenia Now comes with Natural Preservative, So Tasty, So Good, you can even eat it on it's own"


It's like your spouse telling you
"Hey I Used to Sleep with other guys when we were dating, but now I only Sleep with you ,so Don't Worry Ok?"
Unless you really love your Spouse as much as you love your Gardenia then you can still buy Gardenia!

Maybe Gardenia should learn from Yakitate!

  1. How long can these artificial preservatives make a loaf of bread last?

  2. Im not sure about that , but with preservatives bread would stay soft longer as compared to bread without preservatives.
    Trying buying an artisan bread and store it like gardenia. Within 2-3 days, it will be stale/ hard
