If you’re watching your fibre intake and choosing wholemeal
You want to order tiger bread online, but you’re more interested in the type of flour and fibre per 100 g than in the crust alone.
Who might find these options relevant?
If you’re looking for seeds
You want a loaf that actually lists a seed as an ingredient. The name ‘tiger bread’ alone doesn’t tell you whether it contains any.
If you’re having bread delivered
You’re adding bread to your online grocery shop and want to know whether it can be delivered to your address. If you plan to store it, you’ll also want to check the instructions for your chosen variety.
What should you look for when choosing?
First decide whether wholemeal flour, clearly listed seeds or delivery is your top priority. Then compare the information for the specific loaves available to order.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Wholemeal flour and fibre | Check the stated type of flour and compare the fibre per 100 g for the exact varieties. | If fibre is my main reason for choosing tiger bread, I don’t want to judge it by the crust alone. For around 42% of consumers, wholemeal flour and fibre content would be the top priority. |
| Seeds | Look for a specific seed listed in the ingredients and read the allergen information for that variety. | I’m looking for a loaf that clearly lists a seed, not just one with a tiger pattern. Seeds would be the top priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Delivery and storage | Check delivery to your address, whether the loaf is available to order and, if needed, the storage instructions. | The bread needs to be deliverable as part of my planned grocery shop; if I want to eat it later, I need to know how to store it. For around 25% of consumers, this would be the most important consideration. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming a tiger crust means the bread contains seeds
The distinctive crust doesn’t tell you whether the bread contains seeds. For example, the ingredients for the wholemeal tiger loaves reviewed don’t necessarily list a seed mix.
Look for a specific ingredient in the list, such as the sunflower seed listed by Albert Heijn for AH Tijger tarwe maïs half.
-
Assuming white or brown bread is wholemeal
The varieties differ in their type of flour and stated fibre content. Jumbo lists 7,3 g of fibre per 100 g for Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half; Albert Heijn lists 3,2 g per 100 g for AH Tijger tarwe maïs half.
Compare the type of flour and nutritional information per 100 g for the exact varieties you’re choosing between.
-
Assuming a product page means home delivery is available
Being able to view a loaf online doesn’t mean you can have it delivered to your home. Dirk says it doesn’t currently deliver groceries to homes.
Check whether delivery is available to your address before choosing the loaf for a delivery order.
-
Relying on allergen information for a similar loaf
Ingredients and information about possible cross-contamination can vary between varieties. Choosing a loaf based on its seeds or fibre doesn’t replace these checks.
Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the specific loaf before ordering.
Brands to consider
Albert Heijn
Albert Heijn lists AH Tijger tarwe maïs half online, among other bread varieties.
- The ingredients for AH Tijger tarwe maïs half include sunflower seed and iodised salt. Albert Heijn lists 3,2 g of fibre per 100 g.
- This is a brown wheat and maize loaf, not a wholemeal tiger loaf. Check with Albert Heijn whether delivery is available to your address.
Jumbo
Jumbo lists both wholemeal tiger bread and a separate wholemeal sunflower seed variety online.
- Jumbo lists 7,3 g of fibre per 100 g for Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half.
- The tiger crust doesn’t automatically make this a seeded loaf. Check the ingredients and allergen information for the bread you choose.
PLUS
PLUS lists a wholemeal farmhouse tiger loaf and a separate white tiger variety online.
- PLUS lists 6,4 g of fibre per 100 g for Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2 and says this variety can be frozen on the day of purchase.
- The white and wholemeal varieties aren’t interchangeable if you’re choosing based on wholemeal flour. Also check which delivery or collection options are available to you.
Dirk
Dirk lists Bakker van der Akker Boeren tijger wit heel online, among other products.
- The online product page helps you identify this white tiger variety before you go to the shop.
- Dirk says it doesn’t currently deliver groceries to homes. This retailer therefore isn’t suitable if home delivery is essential for your order.

Frequently asked questions
Does tiger bread contain seeds?
No. The name refers to its distinctive crust, not a seed mix. Check the ingredients for the specific variety for any seeds listed; for example, Albert Heijn lists sunflower seed in AH Tijger tarwe maïs half.
How do I choose tiger bread if fibre matters to me?
Compare the type of flour and fibre per 100 g for the exact varieties. Jumbo lists 7,3 g of fibre per 100 g for Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half, while PLUS lists 6,4 g per 100 g for Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2; the tiger crust alone tells you nothing about whether the bread is wholemeal.
Does all tiger bread contain iodised salt?
Don’t assume so. Albert Heijn lists iodised salt in AH Tijger tarwe maïs half; for other loaves, check the ingredients on the current product page or packaging.
Can I freeze tiger bread ordered online?
It depends on the variety you choose and its storage instructions. PLUS says Korenlanders Boeren tijger volkoren 1/2 can be frozen on the day of purchase; for your loaf, follow the current guidance on the product page or packaging.
Can I have tiger bread delivered to my home from every supermarket mentioned?
No. Albert Heijn asks you to check whether it delivers to your address, and PLUS lists home delivery or collection as options. Dirk says it doesn’t currently deliver groceries to homes. For a delivery order, always check availability for your address.
