Whenever we heard the word basket we immediately think of a basket containing something. In this case it is a basket containing bread. Hence the name bread basket. But it also has a symbolic meaning. Bread is the oldest form of food man has known. In the pre historic era humans used to hunt and forage for foods like berries and roots. It was in the period of the stone age that humans learned to use tools made of stone. But gradually they learned about the wheat crop. A crop that will change the face of human societies. These ancient humans quickly learned how to bake bread from wheat. Bread became a staple food. It is rich in carbohydrates and good to eat. Soon we were farming the wheat crop and baking bread.

Today when we think about the evolution of human societies, we undoubtedly believe that it was the invention of baking bread that changed everything forever. People started creating larger groups thus forming societies where they made bread and provided food for all on a constant basis. Even today the bread basket of a country means the most fertile lands where crops like wheat grow in abundance. So these fertile areas provide most of the food that is required for the majority of the population.

Even in the literal sense bread basket means a basket made to hold bread. If you go to any home you will find the bread basket on the dining table. This basket is also the symbol of prosperity. There are different kinds of bread today such as the white bread, brown bread, mixed bread etc. These have different sizes. It is found that white bread is generally used everywhere but it doesn’t have a very healthy purpose. White bread has a high glycol value. So if you are having diabetes then you can’t risk taking white bread. On the other hand brown breads made from whole wheat are a lot healthier and contains more fibers. Mixed cereal breads are made from different grains and they too are good and tasty. They also contain a good amount of fibers.

Bread serving baskets can be found in many shapes and sizes. My personal favorites are the ones made from bamboo twigs entwined around one another. You can also find bread baskets made of steel and they come in all sizes.
