Who invented whole bread?

There's no single inventor of "whole bread" because it's a concept rather than a specific recipe.

Here's why:

* Ancient Origins: Bread-making predates recorded history. Early humans ground grains into flour and baked them into flatbreads. It's likely these early breads were made with whole grains, as refining grains was a later development.

* Refinement Over Time: Over centuries, people learned to refine grains, separating the bran and germ from the endosperm, which resulted in whiter, finer flour. This white flour became the standard for many bread types.

* Revival of Whole Grains: In the 20th century, there was a growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of whole grains. This led to a resurgence of breads made with whole wheat, rye, and other whole grains.

So, while there's no single inventor, we can credit those who championed the use of whole grains in baking and helped us rediscover the nutritional value of ancient baking traditions.
