One of these is Woolies Wholemeal, the other is Woolies Grain bread.
Pick which one is the Grain Bread…

For comparison, this is Aldi Grain Bread:

I think the one on the left is the grain bread, it looks like very small bits of grain in there. You would need more than one slice of either to make a whole meal ......

Terry you shouldn't complain, try eating gluten free bread cost $6-$8 for about half a loaf of normal bread & most of it you have to toast to make it eatable, Tip Top have produced a white & a wholemeal loaf that you can actually make a sandwich out of it, fresh bread is the thing that I miss the most since being diagnosed with Celiac disease.

Ray, the clowns in the bakery at Woolies must have put the bread in the wrong bag. I have been buying Woolies grain bread for a few years now and have never seen such a pitiful example of supposed grain bread. Looks like sandwich white to me. Take it back.

One of my first jobs after school was working in a bakery that catered to the low $$ buyer. All the dough was mixed as the same base product, a slightly different crush board that rolled the dough into a slightly fatter bit and in the steamer for 2 cycles made a standard loaf into a hightop loaf, a few handfuls (and I do mean hands used for the measuring) of cocoa powder to make brown bread, crushed grain to make wholemeal and handfuls of whole grain to make the .... you guessed it, the wholemeal into whole grain bread .... at a premium price of course
One of the apprentice bakers stuffed up the highloaf count and we had to figure out how to slice and wrap 2,000 loaves of hightop bread .... needless to say, he didn't work there the next evening/early morning ...... We ended up turning the loaf tins upside down when the came out of the oven and stacking them one on top of the other to crush the loaf back into the standard square tin shape It was a real challenge getting the loaf out of the tin once it cooled, but the paper wrap covered a multitude of evil

Try the Bakers delight grain breads, more expensive but worth it. We mostly have Low carb hi GI.

The top one is a pic of the grain bread from my local Woolies. So is the bottom one. I think Ray got ripped off.

T1,
The slice on the left is wholemeal; “grain” bread on the right.
Even SWMBO got them wrong at breakfast this morning!
She prefers wholemeal, I’m the grain bread one.
I nearly ended up with the wholemeal, had to point out her confusion.
Only bought the Woolies grain stuff because we were low on stocks and next scheduled trip to Wangaratta Aldi was a week away.
In future, we’ll manage the bread stocks a bit better…
