For a car journey with a range of different tastes to cater for, taking wholemeal tiger bread alongside a white or brown option may be more practical than choosing just one type for everyone. If fibre content matters to you, compare the amounts per 100 g and tailor the quantity and texture of the bread to your group. Check the allergens and storage instructions on the packaging of the bread you choose, too.
Want to make an informed choice between white, brown and wholemeal tiger bread for the journey. The wholemeal options examined from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list 6.7 g, 7.3 g and 6.4 g of fibre per 100 g respectively. Compare the option you buy on the same basis, too.
Don’t want to assume that everyone likes the same crumb and type of bread. Taking a wholemeal loaf alongside a white or brown option gives people two familiar choices. Adjust the quantities to suit what the group actually wants to eat.
Want to share out bread on the journey without taking more than you need. Check whether a half loaf or pre-sliced option would suit you, and freeze any bread you’ll use later in portions as soon as you buy it, in line with the Voedingscentrum’s advice.
First, decide which types of bread your group wants for the car journey. Then compare the nutritional information per 100 g and choose an amount that suits how you plan to use it.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who is this most important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Wholemeal and fibre | Look for the word wholemeal and compare fibre per 100 g. According to the Voedingscentrum, brown bread is not the same as wholemeal bread. | If I’m choosing bread for a journey based on its fibre content, I don’t want to judge by its brown colour alone. This is the top priority for around 42% of consumers. |
| Different tastes | Check whether white, brown or wholemeal is preferred, and whether a whole or half loaf would better suit the group. | If we’re travelling with people who prefer different bread textures, I want to be able to take more than one type. Around 33% of consumers prioritise having that choice. |
| Portions and storage | Check the pack size, whether the bread is pre-sliced and the storage advice on the packaging. | If we’re not eating it all at once, I want to be able to share out portions and store the rest appropriately. This matters most to around 25% of consumers. |
According to the Voedingscentrum, brown bread is made from a mix of wholemeal flour and refined flour. So the brown colour alone doesn’t tell you whether you’re choosing wholemeal bread.
Look for the word wholemeal on the packaging and compare fibre per 100 g if that’s the deciding factor for you.
If people have different preferences, you could end up with a whole loaf left over while others would rather have white or wholemeal bread.
Check in advance which types people want. For a small group, half loaves of white and wholemeal bread could be a suitable combination.
The wholemeal tiger breads examined from Albert Heijn, Jumbo and PLUS list wheat or cereals containing gluten. Allergen information varies between products.
Before you set off, read the current ingredients and allergen information for the exact option you’re taking.
If some of the bread won’t be eaten until later, portion size and storage matter more than they would for a lunch you’re sharing straight away.
Choose an amount that suits your group. The Voedingscentrum advises freezing bread you’ll use later in portions as soon as you buy it.

A half loaf could be a good choice if you want to take both white and wholemeal bread for a small group. Jumbo offers half loaves of both types. Choose an amount to suit what the group wants to eat, and freeze any bread you’ll use later in portions as soon as you buy it, in line with the Voedingscentrum’s advice.

Read the ingredients list for the specific bread. Albert Heijn lists iodised salt for the AH Tijger volkoren heel option examined, but the name tiger bread alone tells you nothing about the ingredients of another option.
