Choose a kaiser roll labelled ‘wholemeal’, then compare the fibre per 100 g, allergens, salt and preparation instructions. If you want to stock up on rolls, Jumbo’s frozen option is available to order online, provided you have enough freezer space and are happy to bake them at home. Albert Heijn listed the AH Wholemeal Kaiser Roll as ‘In-store only’, so a product listing alone doesn’t confirm that it can be delivered to your home.
Who are these options suitable for?
Online shopper keeping an eye on fibre
You’re looking for a wholemeal kaiser roll to replace a white roll and want to compare the fibre content on a like-for-like basis. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, an average 50 g wholemeal roll contains 3.4 g of fibre; you can find the value for the roll you order in its product information.
Household looking to store and bake rolls
You want to keep rolls in stock and bake them later. Jumbo’s frozen option requires freezer space, and you’ll need to follow the instruction not to refreeze the rolls after thawing.
Shopper checking allergens
You need to be able to check the ingredients in a roll before ordering. The Albert Heijn and Jumbo options mentioned contain gluten-containing cereals; Jumbo also lists soya.
What should you look for when ordering?
Start by looking for the word ‘wholemeal’. Then check whether that particular roll is available for your order and whether its ingredients and preparation instructions suit you.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming brown or multigrain means wholemeal
A brown colour or grains in the name don’t prove that a roll is wholemeal. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, wholemeal bread is made from 100% wholemeal flour, while brown bread can also contain white flour.
Use ‘wholemeal’ as your first selection criterion, then check the ingredients and fibre per 100 g.
-
Assuming a product page means it can be delivered
Albert Heijn listed the AH Wholemeal Kaiser Roll as ‘In-store only’. So, seeing a product page online doesn’t mean you can add this roll to a delivery order.
Check delivery availability for your postcode and chosen time slot before completing your order.
If you’re counting on this roll, you may need to make a separate trip to the shop.
-
Looking at fibre alone
Wholemeal doesn’t mean a product is suitable for someone with an allergy. Jumbo’s option mentioned here contains soya and gluten-containing cereals, among other ingredients; salt levels also vary between products and serving sizes.
Read the current ingredients and allergen list, and compare salt values on a like-for-like basis, such as per 100 g.
-
Refreezing thawed rolls
Jumbo states that its frozen kaiser rolls must not be refrozen after thawing.
Plan how many rolls you need and follow the storage and preparation instructions on the packaging after delivery.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if a kaiser roll is wholemeal?
Look for ‘wholemeal’ on the product page or packaging. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, wholemeal bread is made from 100% wholemeal flour; a brown colour or the word ‘multigrain’ doesn’t guarantee this. Check the ingredients of the specific roll too.
How do I compare the fibre in two rolls?
First compare the fibre listed per 100 g, then check the weight of one roll. Albert Heijn lists 7.1 g of fibre per 100 g for its Wholemeal Kaiser Roll, while Jumbo lists 6.7 g per 100 g for its frozen option. The amount per roll depends on its serving weight.
Can I get the AH Wholemeal Kaiser Roll delivered?
Don’t assume so based on the product page alone: Albert Heijn listed this roll as ‘In-store only’. When you place your order, check current availability for your postcode, store and time slot.
How should I store Jumbo’s frozen kaiser rolls?
Store them according to the instructions on the packaging and follow the baking instructions before eating. Jumbo states that this option must not be refrozen after thawing.
What should I check for allergens and baker’s salt?
Read the current ingredients and allergen information for the roll you’re ordering. The AH and Jumbo options mentioned contain gluten-containing cereals, and Jumbo also lists soya. AH lists iodised salt, while Jumbo lists baker’s salt; don’t infer the exact amount of iodine from the name alone.
