A Loaf of Potato Bread

A limited-run loaf, made of three varieties of 18th-century wheat and three varieties of potatoes—the potatoes were grown on George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate.

This type of bread came to be in the mid-18th century but did not become popular in the newly founded America until the 1790s—most likely due to the scarcity or high price of wheat.

It was also found in an Agricultural journal in the 1790’s that bread was listed as another use of Potatoes.
