About Dark bread

Dark bread, a staple in many European and Nordic cuisines, is typically made from whole grain flours such as rye, wheat, or barley. Rich in fiber and nutrients, it often includes natural ingredients like seeds, nuts, or malt for added texture and flavor. Unlike white bread, dark bread retains more of the grain's outer layers, boosting its content of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Its dense, hearty structure is a signature feature, making it a satisfying option for meals or snacks. Known for promoting digestive health, it supports steady energy levels due to its lower glycemic index. However, some varieties may be higher in sodium or include sweeteners like molasses, which can impact health when consumed in excess. Offering an earthy flavor and robust nutrition profile, dark bread is a versatile choice and pairs well with savory spreads, cheeses, or soups.
