Choose a light wholegrain rye and wheat variety if the dark colour or distinctive flavour of rye bread is the biggest barrier: Jumbo describes Bolletje Licht Volkoren Roggebrood, made with wholegrain rye and wholemeal wheat flour, as lighter in colour and flavour. If you’re mainly looking for a clear indication of wholegrain rye, compare the ingredients and nutritional information on the pack you choose. For camping, also check the allergens, best-before date and storage instructions after opening.
If a dark colour or pronounced rye flavour puts people off, a light wholegrain rye and wheat variety could be worth comparing. Jumbo describes Bolletje Licht Volkoren Roggebrood as lighter in colour and flavour; it is still made with wholegrain rye and wholemeal wheat flour.
Compare the grains and fibre per portion on the label of the bread you choose. For reference, the Netherlands Nutrition Centre lists 5.7 g of fibre for a thick 70 g slice of rye bread; this is not a fixed value for every product or slice.
Pack size and storage after opening are especially important for them. Jumbo says that once opened, a pack of Bolletje Fries Roggebrood has a limited shelf life and should be kept sealed in the fridge. Follow the instructions on the pack you take with you.
First decide which quality matters most for your camping meal. Then check that the ingredients, portion size and storage instructions for the specific pack suit your choice.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Milder flavour | Compare the types of grain on the label; don’t rely on the word ‘light’ alone. | If fussy eaters leave dark rye bread uneaten, I’d like to try a variety with a less pronounced flavour. For around 40% of consumers, flavour is the main priority. |
| Wholegrains and fibre | Read the ingredients and compare the fibre per 100 g or per portion, based on the amount you actually eat. | For my camping lunch, I mainly want to know which grains the bread contains and how much fibre my portion provides. For around 30% of consumers, wholegrains and fibre are a priority. |
| Portions and storage | Check the number of pieces or the pack weight, the best-before date and the instructions for after opening. | Without reliable refrigeration, I don’t want to be left with an opened pack that I can’t store as instructed on the label. Practical storage is the main priority for around 30% of consumers. |
