minus-squareAllerolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·5 months agoRefrigeration slows down development of molds, but at the same time expedites starch retrogradation, leading to the bread going stale quicker.
minus-squareJakeroxs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 months agoRather have slightly stale bread then molded bread 🤷♂️ Can’t even tell its stale when you toast it a little and make a sandwich or something with it.
