Bread is a staple in most households and yet few people know the best place to store it for freshness and longevity.
Bread is a staple on almost every shopping list with a staggering 11 million loaves sold daily in the UK.
Sarah said: "It's the age-old question, should you bin or keep bread with spots of mould? Mouldy bread is generally best thrown away, as the mould will likely have spread much further through the loaf than is actually visible." She added: "To keep your bread fresh for longer, it's best to keep it covered. Whether you have a dedicated bread bin or bread bag, or whether you're keeping the loaf in its original packaging, you want to try and store the bread in a cool, dry place."
You should also keep the loaf away from water, which can speed up mould development. Sarah explained: "Moist, damp environments are the perfect conditions for causing mould spores to develop and spread quicker than they normally would, so slow this down by keeping the loaf as dry as possible."
