Pumpernickel bread is a dense, dark bread originating from Germany, traditionally made with coarse rye flour and baked slowly for an extended period, developing its distinct earthy flavor. A single slice of pumpernickel bread offers a wholesome nutritional profile, often containing rye flour, molasses for sweetness, and a touch of sourdough starter. It's naturally rich in fiber, which supports digestion and helps sustain energy levels. This bread is lower on the glycemic index compared to white bread, making it a better option for blood sugar management. Additionally, rye flour contains essential nutrients like B vitamins, manganese, and selenium. While pumpernickel bread tends to be healthy overall, its density may lead to higher calorie content per slice, so portion control is key. Free of refined flours, it’s a flavorful choice in traditional German cuisine and beyond, pairing well with spreads, meats, or cheeses.
