What is Mestemacher Whole Rye Bread?
Mestemacher Whole Rye Bread is a packaged German-style loaf made with whole rye kernels. It is compact and dark, with a pleasantly tangy, earthy grain flavour and a firm texture that holds together well when sliced.
In Germany, it is commonly served in thin slices with cheese, cold cuts or savoury spreads; elsewhere, it works just as well for breakfast or a quick open sandwich. Its whole-grain rye gives it a substantial, fibre-rich character: it provides 8.5 g of fibre per 100 g. The dense slices are satisfying with simple toppings, such as cottage cheese and cucumber, or alongside soup for an easy meal.
