We’ve all experienced that moment: a piece of baguette forgotten at the bottom of the cupboard, now as hard as a rock. But before you toss it in the trash, a question arises: is it simply stale or already unfit for consumption? The answer isn’t always as obvious as you might think… And yet, knowing the difference could save your dinner—and your wallet!
What Mold on Your Bread Really Reveals
In the photo above, there’s no doubt about it: this loaf of bread has gone beyond simple staleness. The blue-green spots visible on the surface are typical of microscopic mold that infiltrates the entire crumb, far beyond what the human eye can perceive. Unlike a bloomy-rind cheese, this type of bread cannot be scratched: its spongy texture makes it an ideal breeding ground for invisible fungi. In other words, even if you remove the affected area, the rest is potentially contaminated. It’s therefore best to avoid any rescue attempt and discard this type of slice immediately – for your health and that of your loved ones.
And what about stale bread?
