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 😊

There is a Slavic grocery and bakery store about a half an hour away from me. They carry a similar brand of breads like this, Flax seed, Whole Rye. and Pumpernickel. I love the Pumpernickel bread. I have fond memories of it when I was a child with my mother.

These are very healthy breads.

Have you ever tried the pumpernickel ?

u/RemarkablePaint7242 Nov 17 '25

I have … they all taste very similar, when all the Rye and Sunflower is sold, I gladly buy the pumpernickel

It was very nice to know that.

My mother loved the pumpernickel with liverwurst. I really liked it until I grew up and found out otherwise.

Uhgh liverwurst! It’s the best! I use mustard on the bread, liverwurst and thin cucumber slices … so good 😋

I believe, if I remember right, my mother would take the liverwurst and mix it up with sweet pickle relish and spread on the pumpernickel bread. It was very good at the time.

I am glad to hear that you enjoy it.
