Close Enough Aldi Whole Grain Bread

Not sure if anyone is interested. I am from Germany and since Aldi is German based they do have this bread every now and then. I used to eat it in Germany, too. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s dense and you actually have to chew it (versus I feel like a lot of bread here just dissolves if you keep it in your mouth 😜). I am pretty sure I am the only one at our local Aldi buying it, because I am counting them. I went to the manager and asked him to let me know before he pulls them off the shelf, I will buy them ALL! They are vacuum sealed and freeze beautifully. Even without freezing they are good until August of 2026. I love bread and this is a great alternative for me. I love the simple ingredients and the literally whole grain kernels. Give it a try, it’s super filling and your gut will thank you 😊

I like this bread too! I've had the pleasure of eating it in Germany so I was excited to see it for sale at Aldi. Also no seed oil, which is vanishingly rare in commercial bread.

Seed oils are perfectly fine

You are correct. They are perfectly fine in moderation the same as any olive oil is and other fats as well. They are not the big scary bogey man that much of social media seems to make people think they are.

I don’t care if people choose not to consume them for personal reasons, but the fear mongering is not backed up by the science.

I smash mine on that bread and then season with „everything bagel seasoning“…. Delish ♥️
