Who is this choice for?

Brunch planner on a budget

You want to provide enough bread for your guests, so you consider how much you need, the size of the loaf and what might be left over after brunch.

Shopper looking for more fibre

You’re specifically looking for a wholemeal option and comparing the fibre content per 100 g on the packaging, rather than judging by the colour of the bread.

Host who wants to bake rolls

You want to bake small tiger rolls just before serving and are factoring in the time and oven space you’ll need.

What should you look for?

First, decide whether you mainly want to serve slices from a whole loaf, a wholemeal option or small part-baked rolls. Then check the quantity and product information for your chosen option.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Quantity of bread Check whether it’s a whole or half loaf and the weight shown on the packaging. If I need plenty of slices, I want to know whether one whole loaf will be enough. Around 40% of consumers prioritise this.
Wholemeal and fibre Look for the wholemeal description on the packaging and compare the fibre content per 100 g. I want to serve tiger bread, but a wholemeal option is my first choice. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Baking rolls Check the baking instructions and work out how much oven space you’ll have just before serving. Small rolls suit my brunch if I can bake them shortly before eating. This matters most to around 30% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Treating a whole loaf and a half loaf as the same quantity

    The size of the loaf affects how many slices you can put out for Easter brunch. Comparing different options without checking the quantity makes it harder to choose the right one.

    Compare whole loaves with whole loaves, or half loaves with half loaves, and check the weight on the packaging.

  • Assuming brown tiger bread is wholemeal

    White, brown and wholemeal bread are sold as separate options. The colour of the crust doesn’t tell you how the bread is described.

    Check the product description and the fibre content per 100 g if that’s important to your choice.

  • Assuming all tiger bread contains iodised salt or the same allergens

    Albert Heijn lists iodised salt in AH Tijger tarwe-maïs heel. You can’t assume that the same ingredient is used in another option.

    Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact loaf you’re buying, especially if you’re shopping for a guest with an allergy.

  • Buying more fresh bread than you’ll serve

    For a small brunch, a whole loaf may provide more slices than you need, leaving you with bread to spare.

    Estimate how many people are coming and check the storage instructions for your chosen product if you want to keep any leftover bread.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose wholemeal tiger bread instead of white?

Choose an option explicitly described as wholemeal if wholemeal bread is a priority for your Easter brunch. Check the label and the fibre content per 100 g; PLUS lists 6,4 g of fibre per 100 g for its Volkoren tijger heel.

How can I check whether tiger bread contains iodised salt?

Read the ingredients list for the exact loaf. Albert Heijn lists iodised salt in AH Tijger tarwe-maïs heel, but that doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients in another option.

What should I look for if a guest has an allergy?

Check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the bread you’re going to serve. Don’t rely on the general name ‘tiger bread’: ingredients vary between specific options.

Can I buy tiger bread in advance for Easter brunch?

You can, as long as the storage instructions for your chosen product suit when you plan to serve it. Check the packaging before deciding when to buy the bread and how to store it.
