The staple food in each country and region is different. For example, in China, the staple food of southerners is rice, while that of northerners is steamed bread. As an extremely cold country like Russia, the staple food is naturally different from ours. In Russia, the staple food people eat is a kind of bread called Heileba. Speaking of black music, many people may feel strange. Next, we can have a simple understanding of this kind of bread.

Generally speaking, bread is divided into white bread and black bread. White bread is the kind of bread we usually eat. It is mainly made of fine flour. Its material is soft and easy to eat, and it is very popular at home and abroad. On the other hand, black bread is a kind of bread made by adding a lot of "impurities" on the basis of making white bread in the process of making black bread. In addition to flour, people will also add many wheat bran, germ or other crop impurities that ordinary people rarely eat.

Because it is mixed with many impurities that are often used to feed chickens or pigs, the material of this kind of black bread is hard. When people eat, they need to chew carefully before they can eat in their stomachs. Of course, this kind of black bread has many advantages compared with white bread. Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of black bread is that it is easy to preserve and will not go bad as easily as white bread. If people go out of town or go to places where food is scarce, it is a good choice to bring this bread.

Besides, this kind of brown bread is hard to digest after eating. People usually only need to eat a little, and they can last for a long time without feeling hungry. If there is a shortage of food, this kind of black bread can help people persist in despair for a longer time.

This kind of brown bread is the best choice for people to lose weight in times of peace and prosperity. As long as you eat a little bit of this bread, it is difficult for people who want to lose weight to feel hungry, so they can lose weight while reducing their food intake. And the Heileba we are talking about is exactly what Russians call black bread.

Russia's Heileba has a very long history. It is said that this kind of food appeared in Russia when Napoleon attacked Russia. When time came to the outbreak of World War II, this Heileba became more brilliant and became a "sacred object" to save countless Russian lives, accompanying most Russians through the difficulties of World War II.

However, unlike today's Heileba, the materials used in Heileba during World War II were rougher and more complicated. During the Second World War, people not only made black bread from wheat husk fed to chickens and pigs, but also mixed some impurities such as sawdust into black bread, hoping to make more bread with limited flour by increasing the content of such impurities. When it comes to the reasons for the popularity of Heileba, it is actually very simple, that is, if it was not popular, many Soviet troops at that time might not live to the end of the war.

Of course, this doesn't show how much Russians like to eat Heileba. When World War II broke out, for many Soviets, Heileba was more a need for survival than a so-called food enjoyment. The taste of Heileba bread itself is sour, and with all kinds of impurities, you can imagine the taste of Heileba at that time as long as you think about it.

If the Soviets really had no other food to eat at that time and were constantly facing the crisis of starvation, then I don't think they would choose to eat that kind of Heileba. However, this kind of Haileba doped with many impurities was not unlimited during World War II. Due to the lack of food resources, the number of Heileba that Soviet soldiers could allocate at that time was extremely rare, and sometimes it was extremely difficult to even get Heileba. When black Lebanon cannot be separated, some soldiers and officers will take out some valuable things on themselves in exchange for black Lebanon to survive. It is Americans who are very different from the Soviet Union.

During World War II, the staple food of the US military was a canned meat called Pam luncheon meat, which was mainly made of pork, flour and various seasonings, and contained great nutrition and energy. During World War II, the US military ate this canned food for three meals a day. Because people eat it every day, many American soldiers are disgusted with this canned food at the end of the war, claiming that they want to vomit when they see it.

From this comparison, we can know the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States at that time. One is that bread mixed with various impurities can't be fully supplied, and the other is that you want to vomit after eating meat.
