I’ve been placed on a no wheat/rice/corn diet. I like bread VERY much. This is sprouted Rye, which gives me bread without flour. An acquired taste, better if toasted.I love this bread, it is very healthy and deliciousGreat bread, especially with soup.Flavor: I happen to like the savory, faintly vinegary sourdough rye flavor, tho it may not be to everyone's taste.Texture: Dense, coarse, somewhat crumbly, especially round the edges, because of the whole rye grains included.Size: A slice is approximately 6 5/8 x 3 3/4 x 3/8. inches. Each packet contains 7 slices.This is the third time I've ordered 6 packets at once. They arrived near the end of July 2018 with expiration dates of June 6, 2019. I've easily made 6 packets last 6 months or more because I'm restricting carbs in my diet, but want to have some bread on hand when I get a craving for some. This is more nutritious than bread made with white flour, has more fiber and doesn't go moldy, which makes it suitable for having only the occasional slice. I like it spread with hummus or guacamole or as an open-faced sandwich with something like egg salad or tuna-mayo-capers or mayo-cucumber slices, or Dusseldorf mustard and sharp cheddar cheese melted in the microwave. I generally slice the bread crosswise into 4 fingers after topping it with something, to minimize the likelihood that it might break while I'm eating it -- it's just easier to eat that way because the slices are so large. As recommended, I put the remaining slices into (zip lock type quart size) plastic bags (3 per bag) and keep them in the refrigerator until I want another one. It helps to separate them gently with a table knife first. I haven't tried toasting this bread because the slices are too long to fit into my toaster and even if I halved them, I think they'd leave too many crumbs at the bottom. That's probably its only downside for me. I daresay one could make a good Reuben sandwich with it, although it would be a rather heavy sandwich. Its flavor wouldn't be suitable for PB&J or other sweet fillings.I think it would be too likely to break apart on irregular fillings like a BLT. For a two slice sandwich I think it would really need something that would hold the bread together, like cheese or liverwurst that's spread, not sliced, and the filling would need to be relatively thin -- not thick in the middle like a deli sandwich. It's a good, honest, respectable bread whose flavor hasn't been tweaked to make a person's taste buds want to eat the entire packet at one go, the way snack foods are, which is something I'm grateful for! One does need to handle a single slice somewhat carefully to avoid breaking it -- don't bend it.Gives you a good full feeling when you eat it. Has a nice long shelf life both in and out of the fridge.I learned of this bread in Germany (of course) :-) When we lived in Spain I could buy it from the shelf at the grocery stores. It was hard to find when we moved back to the states. Now I just order for both my husband and me. He likes pumpernickel and I like the rye. Thank you, Amazon.Had been looking for a good European style bread like my mother-in-law used to bake. This is close to her style of bread and very tasty. It is a dense heavy rye bread which I was looking for. Great for sandwiches. I make a single slice open faced sandwich. The bread is very nutritious in my opinion and very flavorful. I will order this bread again.One of the six packages was a total mush - had to toss it.
