What is Real Germania Gourmet Bakery (TM of 4 Seasons Brands ) Pumpernickel?

Published: Tuesday, 21 June 2016 06:48
  • Pumpernickel
  • 100% rye bread
  • Only whole rye grain and cracked rye is used for the dough, no milled flour – Pumpernickel has humble origins and for a long time it used to be peasant fare for people with no access to a proper mill
  • Rich dark-brown colour, but no crust (it’s baked in fully covered baking tins)
  • A very heavy bread with a darkly sweet aroma and earthy in taste (rye has 7% natural fruit sugar, compared to wheat at 4%, which caramelises during the bake)
  • Is Germania Gourmet Bakery Pumpernickel healthy?
    • Pumpernickel Loaf
    • Yes,
    • the starches of real Pumpernickel have undergone so much of a transformation that they are quite easily digested 
    • Whole-grain rye contains nearly 15% fibre
    • Pumpernickel also has a low glycemic index (less likely to increase in your blood sugar level)
