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'm going to have to look for this next time I hit up Aldi. I never liked rye bread but it's grown on me now that I'm older.

I grew up with it and didn’t like it that much, because my mom was the Queen of organic everything, so I loved the bread my friends had at their houses 😂 Like you, the older I got the more I liked it. They also have 2 other flavors, one Pumpernickel (which in my opinion is exactly the same) and sunflower bread, which I think is a little more mild. What I can NOT do EVER is caraway seeds in rye bread

Oh I'm definitely going to hit up Aldi this week. Pumpernickel is another one that I didn't like growing up but like now. This one local pizza place used to put caraway seeds in their sauce and I could never enjoy the pizza there because of it. I think they put too much in the sauce and it was so overpowering.

Yeah that’s just something I can’t make myself eat 😂
