Bread is one of the most ancient and beloved foods in human history.

- 

It dates back over 12,000 years, originating in Mesopotamia and Egypt. It has fed kings and commoners, soldiers and saints. In Egypt, bread was sacred. In Europe, it signified class. In times of war, bread symbolized survival. In North America, bread became industrialized during the 20th century, making it a staple across households. In Africa, bread took different forms-from soft loaves to flatbreads like injera, regionally adapting to local grains and traditions.

In India, bread arrived during the British era and quickly became a daily essential, especially in urban areas. Today, India's bread industry is valued at over ₹15,000 crore and growing. Yet, in the last decade, public fear around Maida and white bread has cast a shadow over its legacy.
