S. Rosens, 100% Whole Wheat

Ha! You thought I'd do another April Fools Bread Post like a did last year! Jokes on you, loser, I waited to post on the last day of April instead of the first day. Anyway, we're back with more bread. It's bread time, babey. Gotta have that wheaty distraction in these corona-laden times. And no, that's not a terrorist disease.

This month's bread is from a company I have not yet reviewed. S. Rosens. What does the "S" in S. Rosens stand for? Good Question. If you thought it had anything to do with Harvey Sheldon Rosen, 22nd Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors from February 2005 to June 2005 under President George W. Bush, you'd be wrong. According to the S. Rosens website, the company was apparently founded by some dude named Sam Rosen. Can you freaking believe that? In 1909 no less! I'm going to now directly quote a section of their history page:

"Rosen came to the U.S. at age 13, opened his own bakery in New York at 16, and helped organize the first bakers union in that city. That activity cost him the hearing in one ear after a strikebreaker hit him over the head."

End of first history paragraph. What a freaking power move that paragraph was. But how about that Sam Rosen guy, eh? Pretty tough dude. Not ONLY did he make some bread, he also had to do it with only one working ear. That's right, the bread I'm reviewing today came from the ripe ol' hands of Sam "One-Working-Ear" Rosen.

The bread I've chosen from S. Rosens is their 100% Whole Wheat variety. This is a very tasty bread. It's got great texture, color, bread flavor, and sesame seeds. And you bet your bottom bread dollar that this has wheat gluten in it. This bread also includes an ingredient which they list as DATEM. No other explanation for that. Just DATEM. What The Crap Is A Datem. Hopefully it's not harmful. This bread also contains that classic 1.04% of your daily Iron! Only 0.06% daily riboflavin though, smh 😒😒😒

Overall Bread Rating: 9.89/10

Thanks.
