Regular bread buyers
If you eat tiger bread often, you can compare whole and half loaves by weight and check how much you’ll actually use at home.
Which option is right for you?
Small households and occasional buyers
For a small coffee or cake break, half a loaf may suit the number of people better. A whole loaf is also an option if you can freeze what’s left, following the product instructions.
Buyers who prioritise wholemeal
When choosing wholemeal tiger bread, the product description, nutritional information per 100 g and allergen statement are more useful to check than the colour of the crust alone.
What should you look for when choosing?
First, decide how much bread you’ll use and whether you’re looking for white, brown or explicitly wholemeal bread. Then check the information and purchasing options for the variant you’ve chosen.
| What to consider | What should you check? | Who is this important for? |
|---|---|---|
| Weight and loaf size | Check the net weight and whether it’s a whole or half loaf. | If I buy bread regularly, I want to know how much I’ll get with each option. For around 25% of consumers, being able to compare them is a priority. |
| Wholemeal and ingredients | Check for the ‘wholemeal’ description, the nutritional information per 100 g and the allergen statement. | If you’re specifically looking for wholemeal tiger bread, don’t rely on its brown colour. This product choice is the main consideration for around 25% of consumers. |
| Amount for a small occasion | Choose a whole or half loaf to suit how much you’ll use, and read the storage or freezing advice for that variant. | If there are only a few of us, I’d rather not have a large amount of bread left over. That’s why around 25% of consumers prioritise choosing an amount that suits them. |
| Buying and taking it home | Check whether the variant you’ve chosen is available at your shop and what ordering or collection options are offered. | If I want to add bread to my usual shop, where and how I can buy it matters. For around 25% of consumers, convenience is the deciding factor. |
Common mistakes
-
Choosing a whole loaf for a small coffee break
A whole tiger loaf won’t necessarily suit a small group. If you have bread left over, how you store it will affect how much you end up using.
Work out how many slices you’ll need in advance. Consider half a loaf, or check whether you can freeze the variant you’ve chosen in line with the product advice.
-
Assuming brown tiger bread is wholemeal
The colour and tiger crust don’t tell you whether the bread is described as wholemeal.
Look for the ‘wholemeal’ description on the packaging or product page, and compare the fibre per 100 g if you wish.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose white, brown or wholemeal tiger bread?
Choose tiger bread explicitly described as wholemeal if that’s your priority. The tiger crust doesn’t tell you what type of bread it is; for white and brown varieties too, check the product description and nutritional information for the variant you’ve chosen.
What should I do if a whole tiger loaf is too large?
Choose half a loaf if that better suits how much you’ll use, or check whether you can freeze some of a whole loaf. PLUS says its half Korenlanders Farmhouse Wholemeal Tiger loaf can be frozen on the day of purchase and should be used within one month; follow the storage advice for other loaves.
Is tiger bread suitable if I need to avoid gluten?
Don’t assume tiger bread is gluten-free. The half wholemeal tiger loaf mentioned from PLUS contains wheat and barley; for every other variant, check the allergen statement on the packaging you buy.
