Of all the food myths my parents told me — and there were a lot — the one I never questioned was the idea that the crust is the healthiest part of the bread. My parents always said it was, and the crust was brown and didn’t taste as good as the center, so of course my 7-year-old self believed it was the healthy part.
My parents believed it, my grandparents believed it, and 1,000 years ago back in Italy some great-great-great-grandmother of mine probably chased a kid through the hills shouting, “Eat your bread crust, it’s good for you!” and they both probably believed it, too.
