A total of 30 million baguettes are eaten in France each day. At least that is what the French claim. There, only bakeries that bake fresh bread every day are allowed to call themselves a “Boulangerie”, which might explain the high quality of baguettes throughout the country. What’s more, the French bread law specifies set rules for baking baguette: The only ingredients allowed are flour, salt, water and yeast. According to law, a baguette must also weigh between 250-300 grams and have a length of 55-65 centimeters. It needs to be soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside. In this episode of Food Secrets, we let you in on what makes France’s most famous bread so special, where it originated from, and what cultural significance it has to the French.

cause it costs $1 and tastes great
This reminded me of a bakery that used to be where I was raised. I had to go buy the bread there, there were long queues everytime, and the smell was awesome, getting it still hot was something else. Every single person was eating pieces of it before arriving home.
I was lucky to be house-sitting my sister-in-law's house in the Breton countryside during the summer and it was two minutes walking distance to the boulangerie. Whether it be rain or sunshine, the daily morning trip to buy the day's baguettes and other pastries became a ritual!
With a population of almost 70 million, and almost half of them overweight or obese, 30 million pieces of bread doesn't seem like a lot TBH.
meanwhile turkish people eating 300 millions a day 😂
I’m obsessed with baguettes now 😍
do a video on bread in Philly, it's just different
Stealing all african resources and the best they can come up with is a bread!?!?
Bread is Bread its all the same
Just looking at the baguette they made, I can tell you it's a very good one
No matter what you call it , for rest of us , its Bread, all of them just breads
Je confirme c’est tes bon la baguette française toujours le même plaisir quand j’en mange
Maybe some Americans will learn that a French bread isn't kept in Plastic bag.
Always ask for a "Tradition" ( the real baguette ), if you just ask baguette you'll get low quality one in most of bakerys
The sound of the baguette is really important!
SOMUN EKMEK bizim turklerin ekmegidir baget ekmek cakmasidir
My ❤ to the french bread.
in france all french loves baguettes
I haven't been back to Paris in 20+ years but I can still remember the Baguettes……………………..
Baguettes = sugar
Why they eat 30 million baguettes a day? they must either be hungry or like them very much.
Because there are 68,000,000 of them, they don't eat enough, each one eats about 300g. What do you care how much they eat 😊.
Moi aussi, je suis dingue de la baguette! 😋
