Anyone putting together a breakfast board
You’re looking for individual pieces of crispbread to top with sweet or savoury ingredients. The shape and number of pieces you want to serve are practical details worth considering.
Who might like this crispbread?
Anyone comparing rye and multigrain options
You’re looking beyond the word ‘sourdough’ to check which cereals are used and how much fibre there is per 100 g. According to Albert Heijn’s product information, the varieties reviewed differ in these respects.
Anyone checking ingredients carefully
You want to know which gluten-containing cereals and any possible traces are listed on the packaging. If baker’s salt matters to your choice, check the ingredients for each product too.
What should you look for when choosing?
Start with the cereals and allergens that suit the people who’ll be eating. Then compare the shape for your toppings and the pack size against how many pieces you want to serve.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Cereals and fibre | Compare the ingredients and fibre per 100 g; decide whether you want a rye variety or a multigrain blend. | If I want to choose the cereals that suit my breakfast, I need to look beyond the word ‘sourdough’. For around 33% of consumers, choosing between cereals and checking fibre information comes first. |
| Allergens and ingredients | Read the allergen information and any warnings about possible traces on the current packaging; check separately for baker’s salt if relevant. | When I’m making breakfast for someone else, I want to know exactly what’s in the crispbread. Checking the label is the main concern for around 25% of consumers. |
| Shape and toppings | Consider the shape and how many pieces you need for your breakfast board. | I want to top and arrange the pieces to suit the way I’ll serve the board. Presentation is the top priority for around 25% of consumers. |
| Pack size and availability | Check the pack weight, how many packs you’ll need and whether your chosen sourdough variety is currently available. | If several people are joining me for breakfast, I want to have enough of the same variety at home. That’s why around 17% of consumers prioritise pack size and availability. |
Common mistakes
-
Assuming sourdough means gluten-free
According to Albert Heijn’s product information, Wasa Sourdough Rye, Wasa Sourdough Multigrain and Leksands Sourdough Triangles contain gluten-containing cereals. The word ‘sourdough’ doesn’t change that.
If you need a gluten-free option, check the product’s explicit labelling rather than relying on the type of dough.
-
Assuming sourdough tells you whether it contains iodine
According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers in the Netherlands aren’t required to use baker’s salt. So the word ‘sourdough’ doesn’t tell you whether a crispbread is made with baker’s salt.
Check the current packaging or ask the manufacturer which salt is used in the product.
-
Assuming a seeded variety is automatically sourdough
Lidl lists crispbread with sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. The variety names alone don’t tell you whether sourdough is used.
If you’re looking for an alternative for your Mother’s Day board, check the product information for sourdough and read the ingredients on the pack you choose.
