What does Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread taste like?
Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread has a hearty, whole-grain flavor with a mild nuttiness and crunch from the sunflower seeds. Its dense texture is more substantial than that of a soft, fluffy sandwich loaf.
Where does Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread come from?

How do you toast Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread?

After opening Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread, close the package tightly and store it in a cool, dry place, following the package directions. Discard it if you see mold or notice an unusual smell.

What is Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread?
Mestemacher Sunflower Seed Bread draws on Germany’s tradition of dense rye loaves. Made with whole rye and sunflower seeds, it comes sliced and has a moist, close crumb rather than the airy texture of many wheat breads. The seeds add a gently toasted, nutty taste.
In Germany, it is often served at breakfast or as an open sandwich, with cheese, cold cuts or fresh toppings; elsewhere, it works just as well for a quick lunch or alongside soup. Its whole-grain base and seeds make it a notably fibre-rich bread, with some protein and unsaturated fat too. The slices are substantial, so try it with cottage cheese, tomatoes or cucumber for a simple, balanced meal.
