September Birth Bread

Birth Bread

Whole Wheat Bread

Whole wheat bread, made from flour containing the germ, endosperm, and bran of the wheat kernel, represents humanity's wisdom in creating a complete bread. In ancient Egypt, the bread used as workers' wages was whole grain, and it was treasured as an offering to the Greek goddess Demeter. The rich dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants proven by modern science embody the 'completeness of life' that our ancestors intuitively understood. Chosen for the autumn equinox period, this bread simultaneously expresses the celestial harmony of perfectly balanced day and night, and the nutritional harmony of all wheat elements integrated together, harboring cosmic balance within its humble appearance.
