Choose wholemeal tiger bread if wholemeal ingredients and fibre content are your priorities; opt for a white version if it’s more likely to appeal to fussy eaters. If your household has both preferences, you can buy separate white and wholemeal loaves rather than assuming one tiger loaf combines the two. Freeze the loaves in portions on the day you buy them, and follow the storage advice for your chosen product.
You want to stock up on tiger bread, but wholemeal ingredients and fibre content come first. 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.
You’re looking for a white option that suits your household’s preferences, while still being able to weigh it up against wholemeal bread. PLUS describes Korenlanders Boeren tijger wit as white wheat bread with 2.2 g of fibre per 100 g.
You buy several loaves at once and want to defrost only what you need each time. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre advises freezing bread in portions as soon as you buy it, and notes that it can dry out if kept in the freezer for longer.
First, decide which bread will be eaten at home. Then compare whether it’s wholemeal and how much fibre it contains per 100 g. Finally, choose an amount you can portion and store easily.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Wholemeal ingredients and fibre | Check whether the bread is labelled wholemeal and compare the fibre content per 100 g. | When I’m looking for bread for the everyday shop, I want to know whether it’s genuinely wholemeal and how much fibre it contains. This is said to be the main reason for buying bread for around 36% of consumers. |
| Freezing and food waste | Check the bread’s storage advice and divide it into portions on the day you buy it. | If I buy several loaves at once, I want to defrost only what we need, so there’s less left over. Stock management is said to be a priority for around 36% of consumers. |
| Fussy eaters’ preferences | Check whether the bread is white or wholemeal, and try one loaf before stocking up on more. | If not everyone at home likes wholemeal bread, I want to find out whether a white version will go down well first. This preference is said to be the deciding factor for around 28% of consumers. |
A tiger crust doesn’t tell you which type of flour has been used. Albert Heijn and Jumbo offer wholemeal versions, while the Korenlanders version from PLUS that we looked at is white wheat bread.
Read the product name and ingredients, and compare the amount of fibre per 100 g on the packaging if fibre content matters to you.
Bread can dry out the longer it stays in the freezer. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bread is also one of the foods that are often wasted.
Freeze it in handy portions as soon as you buy it, and take only the amount you need out of the freezer each time.
