Bread Ties

Have you ever noticed the different color bread ties and wondered what that was all about? I had noticed but thought it was just for different breads like how milk has different color caps. Well that’s not the case but there is meaning behind it.

The colored bread ties signify which day the bread is delivered to the store. Bread is usually delivered five days a week. Most bread makers use blue to mark Monday and then proceed alphabetically for the rest of the week. Green on Tuesday, red on Thursday, white on Friday, and yellow on Saturday. Some bakeries may use a different system, so this may not be the case all the time.

So, the next time you see bread being delivered to your local store, check those bread ties. It’s always nice to have a side quest when grocery shopping. Today I bought bread with a red tie. Today the bread man was there but didn’t think to check the bread ties. From now on I will be as I love fresh bread.

    It’s funny you say this. A few weeks ago, we were grocery shopping and saw that behind the bread rack (you could see right through it because it was pretty empty that day) was a sign that listed the colors and the days.
