Who is this choice for?

Breakfast lovers looking for tiger crust and fibre

You want that distinctive crust, but you’re also comparing wholemeal options and their fibre content per 100 g.

Fans of seeds

You’re looking for seeds in the bread itself and want to see which varieties have been used in the ingredients list.

Planning ahead for busy mornings

You want to store bread in portions or prepare it in advance. It makes a difference whether the bread is ready to eat straight away or needs to be defrosted and baked first.

What should you look for?

Wholemeal tiger bread

A good fit if: the tiger crust is your priority and you’re looking for wholemeal bread with a stated fibre content.

Bear in mind: a tiger crust doesn’t tell you whether the bread contains seeds.

Multiseed bread

A good fit if: the seeds listed are more important to you than a tiger crust.

Bear in mind: multiseed bread isn’t automatically wholemeal; check the allergens too.

What to consider What to look for Who it matters to
Seeds Look for specific seeds in the ingredients list and read the allergen information. PLUS Korenlanders Licht Meerzaden lists sunflower seeds, linseed and sesame seeds. If I want seeds in my bread, I want to see them among the ingredients, rather than judging by the crust. This is the top priority for around 40% of consumers.
Wholemeal and fibre Compare the proportion of wholemeal flour and the fibre per 100 g. Albert Heijn lists 6,7 g of fibre per 100 g for AH Tijger volkoren heel; Jumbo lists 7,3 g per 100 g for Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half. For a regular breakfast, I want to know how much wholemeal flour and fibre the bread contains, even if seeds are shown on the packaging. This is the main priority for around 40% of consumers.
Storage and preparation Check the loaf size, storage instructions and any defrosting or baking time. If I won’t finish a loaf quickly, I want to be able to store it in portions without losing sight of my morning plans. This convenience comes first for around 20% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the tiger crust means there are seeds

    A crisp tiger crust doesn’t tell you whether the bread contains the seeds you’re looking for.

    Check the ingredients list for sunflower seeds, linseed or sesame seeds, for example.

  • Assuming multiseed means wholemeal

    As well as 30% wholemeal wheat flour, PLUS Korenlanders Licht Meerzaden lists wheat flour. The product name alone doesn’t give you the full picture of the types of flour used.

    Read the ingredients and compare fibre on the same basis, such as per 100 g.

  • Skipping the allergen information

    The PLUS multiseed bread reviewed lists gluten, soya and sesame, among other ingredients. Which ingredients are relevant varies by product.

    If you have an allergy, check the latest allergen information on the packaging before choosing.

  • Buying a whole loaf without a storage or preparation plan

    Fresh bread needs to be stored carefully; part-baked bread may need time to defrost and an oven before you can have breakfast.

    Check the storage instructions and freeze fresh bread in portions if needed. For part-baked bread, check whether the preparation time fits your plans.

Brands to compare by product

Compare specific loaves within each range: a tiger crust, named seeds and a wholemeal base are different product features.

Albert Heijn

AH Tijger volkoren heel is worth considering if you’re looking for wholemeal tiger bread.

  • Albert Heijn lists 6,7 g of fibre per 100 g and says this bread can be frozen at home on the day of purchase.
  • If seeds are a deciding factor, check which ingredients this particular loaf contains.

Jumbo

Jumbo Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half combines a tiger crust with a wholemeal option in a half-size pack.

  • Jumbo lists 7,3 g of fibre per 100 g and includes baker’s salt in the ingredients.
  • If you want to be sure there are seeds in the bread, compare the ingredients with those of a dedicated multiseed loaf.

PLUS

PLUS Korenlanders Licht Meerzaden is worth considering if you’re looking for specific seeds rather than a tiger crust.

  • PLUS lists sunflower seeds, linseed and sesame seeds among the ingredients.
  • The bread lists 30% wholemeal wheat flour and also contains wheat flour. Check the latest allergen information, including for soya and sesame.

Dirk

Bakker van der Akker Boeren tijger bruin heel is a brown tiger loaf to compare with other breads.

  • Dirk’s product description mentions the tiger crust and brown interior.
  • If you’re looking for specific seeds or a particular fibre content, compare the ingredients and nutritional information on the packaging.

ALDI

ALDI describes Boeren tijger bruin as brown bread with a tiger crust.

  • You can compare this tiger bread with multigrain bread as a separate product.
  • The fact that ALDI lists grains and seeds in another bread doesn’t mean this tiger bread contains them. Check the label for each product.

Multiseed bread for a planned breakfast

This part-baked loaf is an option if you’re looking for named seeds and can allow time for defrosting and baking. It isn’t the choice to make if you’re after a tiger crust.

Lekhaven Bakkerij round multigrain country loaf, 550 g

Lekhaven Bakkerij round multigrain country loaf 550 g

Worth considering if you want seeds in your breakfast bread and can prepare the loaf in advance.

The ingredients include sunflower seeds, linseed and sesame. The loaf weighs 550 g.

According to the preparation instructions, the loaf needs to defrost for four hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge, followed by 11 to 13 minutes in a fan oven at 220 °C.

If you’re specifically looking for a tiger crust or a wholemeal base, check the latest product information. If you have an allergy, read the allergen information on the packaging.

Frequently asked questions

Does tiger bread automatically contain seeds?

No. The name refers to the tiger crust, not seeds in the bread. Check the ingredients list if you’re looking for sunflower seeds, linseed or sesame, for example.

Is multiseed bread always wholemeal?

No. Multiseed bread can also contain flour: PLUS Korenlanders Licht Meerzaden lists both wholemeal wheat flour and wheat flour. Check the ingredients and compare fibre per 100 g if a wholemeal base is important to your choice.

Does all tiger bread contain baker’s salt?

You can’t tell from the name ‘tiger bread’. Jumbo lists baker’s salt in Boeren Tijgerbrood Volkoren half; check the ingredients list for any other loaf.

How should I store bread for several weekday breakfasts?

If you won’t finish the bread quickly, it’s best to freeze it in portions and follow the product’s storage instructions. The Voedingscentrum recommends keeping wholemeal bread in a kitchen cupboard for two to four days and in the freezer for one to three months. It advises against refrigerating bread because it dries out there.
